Title edit
Bristol Industrial Archaeological Society (BIAS)
Description edit
Excerpted from the website:
- Introduction to BIAS
- There was widespread anxiety in Britain in the late nineteen-fifties and early nineteen-sixties about the tendency of comprehensive urban development to obliterate significant features of obsolete industries and transport systems. This concern was strongly represented in the Bristol Region, where it helped to promote an adult class in Industrial Archaeology, organised by the University of Bristol Extramural Board and held at the Bristol Folk House in Park Street. The tutors were Angus Buchanan and Neil Cossons, and the class was such a success that after having run for three years from 1964 to 1967, it transformed itself into a permanent association as the Bristol Industrial Archaeological Society.
