MERSEYSIDE INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE SOCIETY (MIHS)

 MIHS is a friendly amateur society whose members share a common desire to find out more about our industrial heritage, particularly that of Merseyside, its products, remains, and the people involved. Formed in 1964 as the North West Society for Industrial Archaeology and History, MIHS is amongst the oldest societies of its kind in the country. We are affiliated to both the Council for British Archaeology and the Association for Industrial Archaeology.

 We run a winter programme of monthly lecture meetings plus a series of field visits in the summer. This includes the May Long Weekend, this year in its 36th edition, which has taken the society to a wide variety of venues all around Britain.

All members receive a regular Bulletin. Unless otherwise stated, indoor meetings are held at 7.00pm on Monday evenings at the Quaker Meeting House, 22 School Lane, Liverpool L1 3BD.

Enquiries from intending new members are very welcome. Have a look at our Contacts Page or, alternatively, just come along to any of the meetings shown on the programme and introduce yourself to a member of the committee.

 Our aims are:

• to further interest in our Industrial Heritage

• to study and record by written, photographic and any other means, the Industrial remains and techniques of past technologies.
