Stane Street excavations - walk and lunch in local pub

Thursday June 18

Roman Studies Group is organising a vist to see the excavations taking place on Stane Street in Ockley which will include lunch and tea (if you so wish) at the local pub. The walk will be led by Chris Gibson who has been leading the work there.

10.30-11.00 Park, coffee, pre-order and pay for lunch at the Punchbowl Inn, Okewood Hill (near Ockley) RH5 5PU.

Langley Mill, on the Derbyshire / Nottinghamshire border, is sometimes (probably wrongly!) described as having been the "most industrialised village in the country". What didn't Langley Mill produce? This talk looks at the various companies established in the 19th and 20th centuries, and at their eventual demise.
