Worcestershire Industrial Archaeology & Local History Society
Est. 1971
We aim to stimulate interest in, record, study and, where appropriate, preserve items of local industrial history in Worcestershire.
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 Eld Hall at RGS Worcester.
From May to August, we organise visits to local and distant heritage sites and attractions. We usually have a knowledgeable guide and many visits allow us access not usually open to the general public.
