SUMMARY:SWWERIAC 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Worcestershire Industrial Archaeology & Local History Society is hosting the South Wales & West England Regional Industrial Archaeology Conference (SWWERIAC) on Saturday 18th April 2026 at Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings\, Stoke Heath\, Bromsgrove B60 4JR. \nGet set for a day of engaging talks from leading speakers and a chance to explore Avoncroft’s remarkable open-air collection. The museum\, home to over 30 rescued and reconstructed historic buildings spanning seven centuries\, provides a unique backdrop. Highlights include the UK’s National Collection of Telephone Kiosks\, a working historic windmill\, and a selection of timber-framed\, brick\, and prefabricated structures including a chain shop\, nail workshop\, sawmill\, and icehouse. This inspiring setting promises a rich blend of learning\, discussion\, and heritage discovery. \nTickets cost £28 per person and include access to the museum’s entire collection\, 30-minute dedicated tours\, a buffet lunch including cold meats\, new potatoes\, crusty bread\, and a selection of salads and cheese with unlimited hot and cold soft drinks plus free parking. \nSociety chairman Dr John Beale said “Avoncroft is home to 30 historic buildings and structures across a 19-acre site. For this reason\, we have scheduled a 2-hour lunch break so that delegates can see the museum exhibits either self-guided and/or the dedicated tours of the 19th century windmill and the National Telephone Kiosk Collection. This marks a departure from the traditional arrangement of offsite visits as there is so much to see at Avoncroft.” \nGet your tickets by completing an online or Microsoft Word booking form available at https://wialhs.org.uk/swweriac2026/ or contact conference@wialhs.org.uk
