Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology
Harry Townley (1926-1999) spent much of his working life in the Electricity Supply Industry with the Central Electricity Generating Board at Berkeley Nuclear Laboratories in Gloucestershire
Together with his wife, Mary he was a founder member of Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology (GSIA) back in 1964. He was Chairman from 1965-68 and latterly in 1997.
He led a number of visits for GSIA (particularly to the Birmingham Canal System). His knowledge of all aspects of industrial archaeology was immense but railways were probably his greatest interest. He wrote 5 books on the railway and industrial history of different areas in Lancashire.
There are nearly 500 images in this collection which features Gloucestershire transport history and milestones.
