Next Event: The Association for Industrial Archaeology - a Very British affair!: Chelmsford Museum. Saturday 14 November 2015
EIAG Annual Meeting and Lecture
Our next major event is the Annual Meeting and
Lecture on Saturday 14th November at Chelmsford Museum, starting at 12:30pm. We
will begin with a short business session, looking back over the last year and
forward to 2016, plus electing the Committee for the coming year. This year’s
lecture will be given by Keith Falconer, formerly Head of Industrial
Archaeology at (the former) English Heritage and currently Chairman of the
Association for Industrial Archaeology. His lecture is entitled:
The Association for Industrial
Archaeology – a very British affair!
This talk will trace the pioneer development of
industrial archaeology from its tentative beginnings in the late 1950, through
its burgeoning in the 1960s, to the formation of the AIA itself in 1973 and the
AIA’s involvement in the national and international scene thereafter.
The Essex Industrial Archaeology Group is part of the Essex Society for Archaeology and History. The event is free to Members, £2 for non-members. Bookings can be made with Dr Graham

Remembrance Sunday: Harlow
Harlow Council house
developments named after soldiers
Commemorating local people in
street names is a very appropriate way to mark the local history of a
community.
In Harlow, 18 new council homes
are nearing completion. It has been
announced that the development on Momples Road will be named "Foster
Court" in memory of Private Robert Foster.
Private Robert Foster, who served
under the 1st Battalion, was remembered at the Royal Anglian Regiment parade,
when is exercised the freedom of the town on 22 October. Private Foster,
otherwise known as Robert "Fozzy Frog" Foster, was tragically killed
in Afghanistan in August 2007.
The Council also announced that
the development in the Hill in Old Harlow will be named “Riley Mews" in
memory of the Riley brothers, Thomas, Cyril and Francis, who were all from
Harlow and lost their lives serving in the First World War.
Private Thomas William Riley
served for the 1st and 4th Battalions of the Essex Regiment and died in
September 1915. Private Cyril Riley served for the 5th battalion of the East
Kent Regiment and died in May 1916. Corporal Francis Arthur Riley died in
February 1917 serving with the 8th Battalion of The Bedfordshire Regiment. He
formerly served with The Essex Regiment.
On this Remembrance Sunday we pause and remember.
