SUMMARY:Evening cruise on the PS Waverley
DESCRIPTION:Join members of BIAS on an evening cruise departing from Grade I listed Clevedon Pier for a voyage around the “Channel Islands” of Flat Holm and Steep Holm.

SUMMARY:A post-industrial walk around Silverthorne Lane
DESCRIPTION:This is a placeholder for an early evening walk around Silverthorne Lane\, Bristol\, examining the considerable industrial remains. Led by BIAS chair David Martyn and vice-chair Simon Hickman\, the event will start and end at the little Martha brewery tap bar in the railway arches on Oxford Street\, just north of Temple Meads Station. \n\n\n\nBooking will open once we have confirmed access arrangements.  \n\n\n\nWe will walk down Avon Street\, and hopefully be allowed access to the former gasworks retort houses\, which have recently been splendidly restored by Bristol University as part of their new Temple Quarter campus. Then a look at the former Marble Mosaic Factory (also originally a retort house) and the surviving infrastructure of Totterdown Basin. We will then go east along Silverthorne Lane\, stopping to take in the former Lysaght’s Galvanising works and the remains of the Bristol Iron Works. Here\, the remains of the hammer forge are still legible\, and the boiler shop is being converted to a gym as part of a new secondary school. We will then cross the Feeder Canal to St Philips and walk back towards the Brewery tap taking in some of the surviving industry in this area. \n\n\n\nSt Philips and Silverthorne Lane are undergoing great change as part of their transition to the Temple Quarter. This is an excellent opportunity to see what remains\, and how it is being incorporated into new development. David is Bristol City Council’s senior conservation architect and has worked with developments here for many years\, and Simon was formerly Historic England’s lead inspector for the area.
