When will there be an item for the new Industrial Sub-group - nothing has appeared since the notification at the ERO conference in July. I understood it is to have its own section on the web site

Many thanks for your interest 'marconibod'. (Presumably you were an employee at one of the greatest firms of the C20 in Chelmsford?) The group will hold its first meeting at Chelmsford Museum on 23 November. As soon as I have the flyer I'll post it on the Essex Society for Archaeology and History blog (ESAH160).
