Join us for an engaging presentation by Commander Tony Coverdale RN Rtd of the Saltford Brass Mill Project. Explore the fascinating history of the early Avon Valley copper and brass industry (1690–1740), a period of groundbreaking innovation.
Discover how coal smelting revolutionized copper production, culminating in an integrated manufacturing network that supplied an international market, including Africa and North America.
You will learn about key figures like John Coster, Abraham Darby, and Nehemiah Champion, whose contributions shaped this transformative era.
We look forward to seeing you at the event.
Unfortunately, there is no parking at the hotel. We recommend using the Ashton Way public car park (BS31 2UF), which is just a 5-minute walk away. There is no charge for parking after 18:00. To reach the hotel, turn left out of the car park, walk straight ahead through the Tesco car park, then turn left for the hotel entrance on Bristol Road. Keynsham train station is only a few minutes' walk away from the venue.
