SGMRG Talk: History Of The Capper Pass Smelter
Coalpit Heath Village Hall
7 for 7:30pm prompt start (note this is half an hour earlier than usual) in the Miners Institute (aka Coalpit Heath Village Hall), 214 Badminton Road, Coalpit Heath, BS36 2QB
By Dr Richard Smith. This will be a very interesting talk, part of which was given at the National Mining History conference in Cornwall earlier this year, but with more of a local bias. Dr Richard Smith, apart from being employed at the Capper Pass Smelter for 16 years, is also a national expert on smelting.
We are hoping for attendance from those interested in the industrial processes of metal processing and usage; also from the wider area, specially South Bristol.
Non members welcome - £2 each for the talk. Membership of the South Gloucestershire Mines Research Group is £17.50 per year and includes talks and newsletters.
