Industrial Archaeology in Berkshire Talk
For those interested in Berkshire's rich history
As the secretary of the Berkshire Industrial Archaeology Group (BIAG), Jo Alexander-Jones, often gets asked 'so what is Industrial Archaeology'. In this light-hearted talk she will explain how the field developed with examples across the globe. Then, she will look at projects that BIAG have undertaken in Berkshire to show how the members find, record and share their love of our industrial heritage. Examples include the Greys Court horse wheel, Hedges foundry in Bucklebury and roadside pumps on the A4.
After the talk, tea/coffee and cake will be available (included in the price).
Pre-booking is preferred, but you can pay on the door, if there are spaces available.
2-3.30pm
