His accounts have always been very thorough and When Ice Came to London informative. Sadly for us, he has now decided to retire the Story of Carlo Gatti and his Enterprises from this particular task. Kew Bridge Steam Museum We are therefore looking for someone to peruse the has had a Grand Relaunch & is now open to the public AIA journals and produce reports on them to help following a £2.3 million re-development, renamed as the SIHG members to keep in touch with industrial London Museum of Water and Steam archaeology movements around the World.

Introduction 1. The Culture Network meeting raised a number important issues and concerns that need to be addressed about the implementation of the award of Borough of Culture 2023 status. This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2. There are several tensions and contradictions within the proposals that clearly could not be ironed out at the time the bid was submitted to the Mayor of London.

  • 1 No 183 Sept 2011
    No 183 Sept 2011 1 www.sihg.org.uk Three Very Different Wealden Iron Furnaces by Alan Crocker On 23 July I attended the AGM of the Wealden Iron Research Group (WIRG) at the Rural Life Centre (RLC), Tilford. These meetings are usually held in Sussex but this year the event came to Surrey, as the RLC has recently constructed a half -scale replica of a Wealden iron blast furnace and forge, complete with waterwheel, bellows and tilt hammer. The meeting started at 1030 with coffee and biscuits and then the Director of the RLC, Chris Shepheard, a former Chairman of SIHG, talked about the formation of the museum, its activities and the enormous amount of work done by volunteers, known as ‘Rustics’. A group of these, headed by Gerald Baker, has been responsible for raising funds for and constructing the replica furnace in a former pig sty on the museum site. After lunch in the RLC Restaurant, Gerald operated the furnace for our party. There is no stream flowing through the museum site so the waterwheel, which is overshot and 6 feet in hammer. The Rustics had lit a wood fire in diameter, has to be turned by circulating water the kiln but for several reasons it was not with an electrically powered pump. One end of its possible to demonstrate smelting and shaft operates paired bellows which force air into forging.
