A Hitchin and Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation.
This is a change from the previously advertised presentation.
Presenter: Geoff Plumb.
In the presentation Geoff will take a look at some industrial systems around the country, including steelworks at Corby and Staveley, paper mills in Kent, cement in Essex and a visit to Avonmouth Docks. Also, colliery workings in Derbyshire, Yorkshire, County Durham, Northumberland and South Wales plus slate in North Wales, together with a few other oddities. A variety of steam and fireless locos are seen hard at work and at rest, plus the odd diesel. These are presented in chronological order from 1962 to 1971.
Doors open: 13:30
