WIAS Industrial Walks

WIAS Industrial Walks

A collection of 8 walks devised and lead by the late Peter Chater and undertaken by WIAS members during the 1990’s and 2000. Some items of interest and access may have changed somewhat during the passage of time! There are 8 walks in total. (Please ignore the WIAS contact details as they are out of date too!).

At the bottom of each booklet is a menu where you can increase the size, go to full screen,
