19th Century Industrial History

The Industrial Revolution that took place during the second half of the 18th Century transformed Britain's predominantly agricultural economy into the world's first industrial nation. The group studies the development of British industrial history throughout the 19th Century; the achievements of the pioneers and their effect on both Britain and the world.

The 19th Century Industrial History Group meets at Pocklington Methodist Church in Chapmangate, on the third Tuesday of every other month at 10.00 am. (alternating with the Military History Group).

Our next meeting will be:

21 September - From Airship to Bouncing Bomb - The Story of Barnes Wallis - Robin Gray

Co-ordinator: Robin Gray
