Kenilworth library is set to host a display showing the history of working life in Warwickshire.

Alongside the well-known occupations like farming and coal mining, the 'Warwickshire's World of Work' display will also exhibit lesser-known jobs including taxidermy, leather making, brewing and cement making.

The display, which is one of ten across the county, will also include information about traditional jobs like hairdressing, policing, working for the fire service, railways, the post office and many more.

The displays are created from material within the local history collections held by many libraries in the county and include photographs, books, and other material.

Sometimes little is known about a photograph on display so this is also a way of trying to find out more from library customers about the people or places in the photographs.

Warwickshire Libraries run displays from local archives every September, with this year's display from 10 September for a month.

A larger display featuring boards from a wider area will be touring around all county run libraries next year.

For those who want an overview of the counties past occupations you can see a selection in a special online exhibition via the library website.

WCC portfolio holder for economy and place Cllr Kam Kaur said: "Each September, the selected libraries display photographs and other material from our historic collections highlighting some of our favourite or most interesting resources.

"We are hoping that our customers will enjoy finding out something new about their local area including those who may be self-isolating at home, via the online exhibition."
