Celebrating Jesse Taylor

Following our very successful exhibition in January of photographs by Jesse Taylor CADHAS members have been cataloguing the final batch of images held in Gloucestershire Archives. This led to another Exhibition on 7/8 August in the Town Hall, showing pictures taken by him as he travelled around the Cotswolds.
