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:Derbyshire AS - Coal Mining in the Faroe Islands and other international IA adventures
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ian Mitchell (speaker at St. Mary’s Church Hall\, Darley Lane\, Derby\, DE1 3AX) \n\n\n\n\nIt used to be a tradition of the IA Section to finish the programme with a session of ‘members slides’\, to share information on sites of industrial archaeological interest. This talk will be a revival of this tradition\, looking at some locations that Ian and Mary have visited abroad in recent years. Some of these have been on specialist tours organised for the Association for Industrial Archaeology\, while others were sought out or come across by chance on independent holidays. \nIan Mitchell is the chair of the SDAS Industrial Arachaeology Section. \nBook online via Eventbrite: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/coal-mining-in-the-faroe-islands-and-other-international-ia-adventures-tickets-1985315354669 \nYou can also attend this event in-person at St Mary’s Church Hall\, Darley Lane\, Derby\, DE1 3AX – no need to book. \n\n\n

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
