  • Walk West Again
    This e-book has been laid out so that each walk starts on a left hand-page, to make printing the individual walks easier. You will have to use the PDF page numbers when you print, rather than the individual page numbers. When viewing on-screen, clicking on a walk below will take you to that walk in the book (pity it can’t take you straight to the start point of the walk itself!) As always, I’d be pleased to hear of any errors in the text or changes to the walks themselves. Happy walking!

  • GSIA: the FIRST 35 YEARS Ray Wilson Each Year the Industrial
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1999 pages 3-37 GSIA: THE FIRST 35 YEARS Ray Wilson Each year the industrial archaeology societies from the West of England and South Wales meet for their Annual Regional Conference. The theme for the 'Millennium Conference' held at Bridgwater on 8 April 2000 was a historical review of industrial archaeology in the region. The hosts, the Somerset Industrial Archaeology Society invited each of the societies to provide a talk on the activities of that organisation over the years. The groups were also urged to describe both the successes and the failures that they had experienced. The declared aims of all the groups are probably very similar but in practice the societies are very different in character. There is no such thing as a 'standard' industrial archaeology society and this was certainly confirmed by the presentations at the Bridgwater Conference. Some run large practical projects, others do a lot of recording and fieldwork and some are more involved in research projects and publications. The contribution from the Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology (GSIA) was made by its Honorary Secretary, the present author. Part of the research for this talk entailed reading all the minute books back to 1964 and the many files in the GSIA records. It then seemed appropriate in year 2000 to use the same material for this account of the Society from its beginnings in 1964. It must be stressed that this is simply a record of some main activities of the Society over the past 35 years.

  • 47 the RESTORATION of the COTSWOLD CANALS JULY 2010 UPDATE Theo Stening Introduction Now Just Over Two Years Since British Water
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2009 pages 47-50 THE RESTORATION OF THE COTSWOLD CANALS JULY 2010 UPDATE Theo Stening Introduction Now just over two years since British Waterways withdrew from the Cotswold Canals Partnership, news about the restoration project is still very positive since the update in last year's Journal (1). At the end of March 2009 a new limited company was set up to own and operate the two canals for the benefit of the public. This is called the Stroud Valleys Canal Company (SVCC). The key shareholders are Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), Stroud District Council (SDC), The Company of Proprietors of the Stroudwater Navigation and the Cotswold Canals Trust (CCT). SDC has a lead role in the restoration programme. Its canal team under the project manager, Paul Coope, has now been built up to full strength. Results from the major efforts on site and behind the scenes by both the formal bodies and dedicated volunteers (mainly from the Cotswold Canals Trust) are now becoming increasingly apparent both on the ground and in the water. Progress Phase 1a Brimscombe Port to The Ocean, Stonehouse (i) Land The eastern end of Brimscombe Port was bought from British Waterways and transferred to the SVCC almost immediately the new company had been established. The lease of the Stroudwater Navigation was reassigned to the SVCC too. Towards the end of 2009, the transfer of many sections of the Thames and Seven Canal to the SVCC, mainly from the GCC and the small sections owned by British Waterways, was also completed.
