We aim to stimulate interest in, record, study and, where appropriate, preserve items of local industrial history in Worcestershire.

We stage a series of talks through the winter and visits during the summer.

15/05/2026

Our talk by Brian Hoggard on "Magical House Protection – The Archaeology of Counter-Witchcraft will take place as advertised this evening starting at 7:30 pm in Eld Hall. However, there is a slight change to how we enter the premises.

Please use the car park on Little London using the usual code emailed by our membership secretary. Walk around to the gate off Tennis Walk opposite the end of Lansdowne Road. There is no keypad on this gate, so please close it behind you and follow the path to Eld Hall as directed on the map below.
