SUMMARY:Greenwich IHS - Burndept\, the Blackheath radio company
DESCRIPTION:Over a century ago\, in 1922\, 12 companies agreed to form the British Broadcasting Company to stimulate their sales of domestic radio sets. One of those 12 was based in Grotes Mews\, Blackheath. That was Burndept\, originally founded in 1919 as a metal sign maker in Deptford that diversified into the new wireless technology. \nIn this free talk from the Greenwich Industrial History Society\, David Shaw will talk about what became Britain’s largest and most iconic wireless set manufacturer\, supplying sets to kings and popes. \nIn his talk\, Dave will look at the development and social impact of early wireless on society and will touch on Burndept’s origins and the glory years in Blackheath and then its falter during the great depression. \nBurndept moved to a new factory in Erith in the 1930s\, when its great innovative ability gave it a new lease of life. Dave will then track its demise and final collapse. Burndept is a rather lost but important part of SE London’s industrial greatness. Dave\, who’s spoken to GIHS in the past\, is a lover of all things wireless – a listener\, a collector of old radios\, a radio ham (callsign G4NOW) who still finds the sound of a voice coming out of a wireless magical. He is a retired company director\, uni lecturer and textbook writer. \nBook your place at this free talk now by emailing greenwichindustrial@gmail.com with the subject line “GIHS Burndept talk” and we will send you Zoom log-in details *just* before the talk starts on Tuesday. Please book your place by 19:00 on the day of the talk\, so that we can send you the log-in details. \nWe gather electronically at 19:15 UK time (not earlier) and Dave will start speaking just after 19:30. You’ll be able to ask questions via the chat function. \n

SUMMARY:INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE IN UNITED EUROPE - CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:Law and Practice in the Protection of Industrial Heritage in European Countries \nThis international conference is being organised by a coalition of heritage bodies in Poland:  TICCIH Poland\, National Heritage Institute\, Foundation for the Protection of the Industrial Heritage of Silesia (with strong support from the Polish Government – Ministry of Culture and National Heritage). The event is also supported by various other organisations including WIMH Working Industrial & Mobile Heritage platform group. \nThe conference aims to be a forum for exchanging experiences and best practices regarding the preservation of technical monuments.  Learning about local experiences can become a platform for establishing common principles for the research\, recording and re-use of technical monuments. An objective will be to formulate basis principles for the protection of monuments on a European scale and identifying best practices for adapting technical monuments to new functions\, ranging from industrial and mining locations through to heritage railways. \nAIA members will be very welcome to take part. \nClick here for programme \nThe participation fee will be a very modest Pln 350 (approx Eu 80) with a reduced rate of Pln 150 (approx Eu 34 for students.
