SUMMARY:Somerset IAS – The Future History of Coal Mining – How will England choose to remember? (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Dr John Tanner asks how England will choose to remember its coal mining heritage. Once the demand for domestic coal started to fall in the 1950s the number of pits declined sharply. Nevertheless\, at the start of the 1980s the National Coal Board still employed some 250\,000 workers\, but the UK has now moved away from coal power. \nDr Tanner is Head of Masterplan and Capital Projects at the National Coal Mining Museum for England\, and is a key figure in developing the story of coal mining at the museum. \nFor details about how to participate visit: https://www.sias.me.uk/index.htm

SUMMARY:Berkshire IAG - Celebrating 75 years of AWE
DESCRIPTION:For 75 years\, AWE has proudly played a role of critical national importance: helping deliver the UK’s nuclear deterrent. In 1950\, Aldermaston became the site of the UK Government’s Atomic Weapons Programme\, initially named ‘High Explosive Research’\, under the supervision of British Manhattan Project veteran William Penney. \nIt was originally designated as the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE) in 1952\, and\, in 1957\, AWRE tested the UK’s first ‘hydrogen bomb’. Over the decades AWE has continued to be at the centre of nuclear security for the nation. Join Garry George to hear an overview of AWE’s rich history. \nGarry George is a Chartered Engineer and one of AWE’s distinguished members of staff\, having worked at AWE for 47 years \nNon-members are welcome for a small fee of £3 to cover hot drink and biscuits.

SUMMARY:Somerset IAS – Coal Bunkering and Coal Lumpers of Dartmouth (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Dartmouth\, Devon\, was a significant coal bunkering port for steamships from the late 19th century\, employing large numbers of tough\, competitive workers called coal lumpers who manually loaded coal from barges/hulks into ships’ bunkers\, a dangerous but well-paid job until mechanization and changing ship types led to its decline around the First World War. \nFor details about how to participate visit: https://www.sias.me.uk/index.htm

SUMMARY:Somerset IAS – The World War II Listening Stations of the South-West
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Colin White has identified the locations and condition of around twenty-five World War II covert listening stations (known as “Y-Stations”) in the West Country\, many along the strategically important coastlines of the English and Bristol Channels. \nThey collected vast quantities of encrypted enemy radio messages\, which were the raw material for the codebreakers at Bletchley Park who\, it is believed\, shortened the war by as much as two years. The Y- stations were staffed by a diverse group of people\, including members of the Army\, Navy\, RAF\, Foreign Office\, GPO\, and the Marconi Company. \n  \nThere is no charge to SIAS members\, guests are welcome at £3. \nAt Silver Street there is also a free-of-charge Book Exchange and SIAS publications are on sale at reduced price for members.

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

SUMMARY:10th East-West Workshop on Industrial Archaeology (cheers!)
DESCRIPTION:The East-West Workshops on Industrial Archaeology were not created to endure; at least\, not in a purely virtual format. When we held our first workshop in May 2021\, it was mainly a way to prevent the COVID pandemic from disrupting our academic activities and international exchanges. However\, the experience exceeded our expectations. Five years on\, we are launching the 10th edition of a series of workshops that has become increasingly popular in the West\, the East\, and beyond. To mark this special occasion\, this workshop focuses on the archaeology\, heritage\, and history of alcoholic beverages. Our speakers will examine the architecture of malt production in Britain and continental Europe (a key component of beer\, whiskey\, and other spirits)\, the history of winemaking and wine consumption in Spain\, and the landscape of baijiu production in China. While the workshop acknowledges the serious consequences of alcohol abuse\, it also recognises it as a significant element in many cultures worldwide\, their social practices\, and their heritage. \nThe East-West workshop series aims to exchange ideas and knowledge between Western and Eastern colleagues to develop a more international and diverse industrial archaeology. The event is jointly organised by the Institute for Cultural Heritage and History of Science & Technology (USTB\, China) and the UK Association for Industrial Archaeology. \nRegister for FREE to get the Zoom link to the event here: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/10th-east-west-workshop-on-industrial-archaeology-tickets-1985575283122?aff=oddtdtcreator \nSPEAKERS & TALKS: \n– Amber PATRICK (Association for Industrial Archaeology\, Britain): “Malthouse Developments – The Late 18th Century to the Mid-20th Century” \nThroughout the late 18th century to the mid-20th century\, floor malting and direct-fired kiln drying dominated the malting industry. These two methods governed the two main types of malthouses and the type of kilns used\, but not their size (which varied enormously)\, nor to some extent their location. From the last quarter of the 19th century\, a different method of malting began to be used\, but it did not supersede floor malting for some considerable time. The method of kilning eventually changed\, too\, but again\, old methods persisted. This talk will look at the building types throughout this period and the changes that occurred\, and whether these are recognisable in the exteriors and interiors of the buildings\, and ask the question: is it possible to identify malting buildings once they are in other uses? It will be considered to what extent legislation affected design and whether developments in Europe affected malthouse and kiln design in Britain and vice versa. \n– Pablo ALONSO GONZÁLEZ (Spanish National Research Council\, Spain): “Craft Vs. Industrial? A Critical History of Spanish Wine” \nWhat exactly is a ‘natural’ wine? How does it differ from an ‘artificial’ one? These are highly relevant questions with a long-standing history in Spanish winemaking. This talk delves into the historical debates that\, since the 19th century\, have pitted winegrowers\, scientists\, legislators and consumers against each other in Spain over the authenticity of wine. Delving into newspaper archives\, agricultural treatises and oenology manuals\, this presentation reconstructs how the first regulations on additives came about and how industrial practices were legalised under a paradox whereby wine is preserved as a pure and natural substance and modified for industrial purposes. Contrary to the idea that natural wine is an imported fad\, this talk argues that vitalist and purist arguments were already circulating in Spain more than a century ago. The talk explores why\, in addition to being an ancient drink\, wine is a field where innovation and tradition\, industrial and commercial interests\, public health concerns and cultural expectations intersect. \n– Yuchen WANG (University of Science and Technology Beijing\, China): “Symbiotic Cityscape: Luzhou Baijiu Cultural Heritage as an Urban Cultural Landscape” \n“Luzhou Laojiao Fermentation Pit Clusters and Brewing Workshops”\, as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level and a National Industrial Heritage\, is one of the most representative baijiu cultural heritage sites in China. Its surviving components include 1\,619 fermentation pits constructed since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)\, 16 brewing workshop complexes\, and 3 ageing caves for storage and maturation. The quantitative richness of these heritage elements provides foundational data for analysing their spatiotemporal distribution patterns. This talk systematically catalogues the heritage components and assesses their preservation status. By integrating temporal characteristics into spatial distribution analysis\, it cross-examines historical locations of brewing workshops with the evolving core urban boundaries of Luzhou across different periods and reveals their closely connected distribution pattern from the perspectives of time and space. Further comparative analysis with other Chinese baijiu heritage cases clarifies that the combined effects of factors such as types of raw materials\, transportation and labour costs contributes to the intrinsic logic underpinning the formation of urban cultural landscapes represented by Luzhou Laojiao. The core part of Luzhou liquor culture heritage\, which is still carrying out production activities to this day\, has a development process that is closely related to its host city Luzhou\, “organically evolving”\, and is a typical urban cultural landscape heritage\, which embodies the outstanding universal value that distinguishes liquor culture heritages from other liquor heritages in the world.
