From New Town To Trinity Walk
Event Navigation
In the late seventeenth century, at the height of the prosperity from the wool industry, it was decided to expand Frome to the north-west.
The result was New Town – more than 300 houses built during the next half-century in an early example of a planned grid pattern.
About half the area – now called Trinity – was demolished in the 1960s, but then its historical importance as a rare surviving example of early industrial housing was recognized and the remaining houses were saved and restored at a cost of £4 million.
Take a step back through the centuries on this 75 minute walk to learn about the area and the people who inhabited it.
Access: steep gradients.
Meet outside Frome Library.
