THE work of well-known photographer Stanley Kenyon, who was based at what is now the Scout Hall in Fore Street, Wellington, between the 1930-50s, is on show at Taunton Castle Museum.

The World Before Yesterday exhibition draws on the more than 60,000 images, including a large proportion of industrial subjects, he created in his career.

The exhibition showcases all aspects of his work including weddings, for passports, local places, the Naafi and portraits of US servicemen taken in the Second World War, schools and family photos.

Among the industrial pictures is one of metal being poured into castings at a foundry and another of a workman using a phone on a telephone pole.

The exhibition marks the completion of a project to digitise Kenyon’s film negatives and save them from destruction from ‘vinegar syndrome’.

A film on a continuous loop talks about how the project was carried out and the importance of Kenyon’s work. Work remains to be done digitising his glass plates.

The exhibition runs until August.
