An exhibition of photographs by acclaimed photographer Shirley Baker is running throughout March in Stroud's Museum in the Park.
Shirley's work focuses largely on the northern town of Salford and depicts the change in the community in the 1960s and early 1970s.
The Shirley Baker Archive is managed by her daughter, Nan Levy, who spoke to Stroud Times about her late mother's legacy.
Exhibition organiser Fred Chance spoke of how Shirley remains an inspiration for young photographers, with the Nailsworth-based Hundred Heroines showing work from young photographers alongside the main exhibition.
