The exhibition is a new addition to Meeting Point House in Southwater and is a partnership between Meeting Point Trust and the Lloyds Bank Foundation.

Ann Johnson, the Lloyds Bank Foundation local implementation lead for Telford & Wrekin, said photographs were part of the work ‘Re-imagining Telford’.
