The Industrial Heritage Group
Leader: Mike Stow - indhist@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 01530 469152
The Industrial Heritage Group is for members who have an interest in our industrial heritage of trains, cars, planes, bikes, early manufacturing etc. to visit museums, railways, factories and other places related to our industrial past. We occasionally take a quite broad view of what constitutes "Industrial Heritage" if it is of interest to us!
Travel arrangements vary depending on how far we have to travel, but generally we meet in Ashby to car-share.
Our trips are normally on Wednesdays unless otherwise stated.
All dates below are provisional until stated otherwise

Wednesday 24th December.
We didn’t meet this month as it would have fallen on Christmas Eve when everyone is far to busy with last minute shopping etc.
We have decided on January's venue which will be the Museum of Making at Derby. This is close by, easy to get to and indoors if the weather is inclement. And as a bonus it is free and therefore easier to organise! Other venues will appear on the website as they are finalised.
It promises to be an interesting year.
