Lincoln's Engineering Industries

Lincoln's Engineering Industries is the subject of a talk at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life on Saturday 24 October, starting at 10:00. It's a morning session, so you'll be done and away well before lunch.

The talk focuses on the engineering industries that grew around Lincoln, the trade that shaped the city's character and its working life for generations. If you've spent any time around the place, you've probably heard the stories of the big works and the families that worked them, and this is a chance to hear that history laid out properly. It's a look at the scale of what was built here and the people who did the work, rather than just the names of the companies.

It's held at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life on New Boultham, which is a fitting spot for it. The museum's whole thing is about the social and industrial history of the area, so the talk sits right in with the collections on display. If you're already planning a visit, it's an easy addition to the morning.

Tickets are £8, and it kicks off at 10:00 on Saturday 24 October at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life on New Boultham.
