What are Industrial
Heritage days?
These Saturday all-day sessions, with
lectures and associated visits to important sites, are
organised in turn
by the participating local Industrial History and
Archaeology groups, who choose a venue within their area
and exploit its local potential. Many
LIHS members
take part.
Refreshments and a buffet lunch are
included.
