Gallery One A is now entering its final month in business and holding a Closing Down Sale.

The gallery and hop, alongside Boots in the centre of Frome has been suffering, along with many other town centre businesses, as rising bills, rents and double digit inflation takes a toll on spending.

Owner Lockhard Murdoch told Nub News : " People are being told their electricity bill is going to go up by 400%, inflation means their food shop will be more than 10% more so they don't want to spend on "luxuries" like the photos I sell."

This week the shop has a special tribute of photographs in honour of Yoko Ono's 90th birthday which is on February 18.
