The 2021/22 season started on 10th September. We will meet on Zoom until December 2021 and hope to resume face-to-face meetings in January 2022.
Our aims
We aim to stimulate interest in, record, study and, where appropriate, preserve items of local industrial history in Worcestershire.
Our programme
We stage a series of talks through the winter and visits during the summer. Take a look at our current programme.
From September to April, we host monthly talks on industrial archaeology and local history from society members and guest speakers. Talks are usually illustrated and are held on a Friday evening in the Lecture Theatre at RGS Worcester.
From May to September, we organise visits to local and distant attractions. We usually have a knowledgeable guide and many attractions allow us access not usually open to the general public. Coach trips are arranged for more distant locations.
Our newsletter
Our newsletter is packed full of interesting news and articles and appears twice per year. We also produce “Occasional Papers” for longer research articles.
