North East Derbyshire Industrial Archaeology Society (NEDIAS) has a new website. Have a look: HERE _____________________ A request from English Heritage EH have created a new website called Portico, which consists of a series of in-depth histories for a number of English Heritage's sites such as Lullingstone Roman Villa, Kenilworth Castle and Rievaulx Abbey. The plan is to expand Portico to cover all 400 or so sites in English Heritage's care over the next five years. However before they embark on the next phase of Portico, they would like to get feedback from as many users as possible to see what they think of this new resource and whether they can improve it in any way. They would be very grateful therefore if you could spare 5-10 minutes to have a look at the site HERE. Then complete the short survey HERE: Califat Excavation
The diggers take a well earned break in their efforts to locate the pond end and carry out further work at the engine house connection, of the Engine Condensate pipe at the Swannington Dig site on yet another superb sunshine day in late October. This was an extra dig called at a few days notice whilst the pond remains dry, but it still attracted a good turn out. ____________ NEWSLETTER
