INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE

The Industrial Heritage Group takes an informal approach to industrial history and those who made it. Most of our meetings include a talk from one of our members but we also have discussions, workshops and visits.

Programme details can be found in the U3A Diary.

Meetings take place in the afternoons of second Thursdays at Woosehill Community Hall (main hall). They normally start at 2.15pm and complete by 4.00pm. See the U3A Diary (distributed with the Newsletter) for month by month programme details.

The group welcomes new members but please telephone the contact shown in the Diary prior to your first visit.
