To accompany our schedule of steaming days and the public opening times, the team at Crofton Beam Engines have planned other good reasons why it is worth coming to visit us or other events in the area. Take a look below at what is on offer and
contact us or the event holder if you would like more information.
A Guided Tour of the Great Exhibition 1851…..
(in case you missed it the first time around!)
Unless you are very old (and I mean really, really old) you probably didn’t get to the 1851 Exhibition. But you can change that, because on Friday 7th September 7.30pm David de Haan* is leading a guided tour of the Great Exhibition at Crofton Beam Engines.
*David is the Hon Secretary of the Association for Industrial Archaeology
From plans, catalogues and prints, the layout and content of the 1851 Exhibition has been reconstructed, making it possible to visit stand after stand in the order the Victorians would have seen them.
If you come to this talk you will be able to say you did visit the 1851 Exhibition after all!
