The Industrial Revolution is often thought of as a development of the 18th and 19th century but by 1700 the Wandle was already powering numerous mills producing flour, gunpowder, copper goods, leather and other things.
We’re delighted to welcome back well-known local historian John Phillips to present an illustrated talk that explores the context of this to try to understand the significance of the early industrial developments along the river.
