L T C Rolt: Life, Work, Legacy

Ironbridge Conference
Booking is now open for a major conference at Ironbridge looking at the life, work, and legacy of L T C Rolt
L T C Rolt, also known as Tom, was a renowned practical engineer and prolific author who wrote books and articles on industrial history, canals, railways, and cars as well as fiction.
Rolt was an early supporter of the work of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust and is regarded as one of the founders of the 20th century waterways and railway preservation movements. He was also involved in helping to establish the Association for Industrial Archaeology.
To mark the 50th anniversary of his death, Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust has partnered with academics from Keele University to host a conference which will celebrate his life and the continuing legacy of his work. There will also be conference-related events on the 9th and 11th May.
