Saturday 20th June, 10.30 am. 
Crawley’s industrial buildings from 1817 to 1960.  A trip around Crawley including visits to the 1817 Ifield Mill and the 1960s Manor Royal Industrial Estate.

The water wheel at the mill has been completely rebuilt and will be in action on the day. Experts will be on hand to explain the workings of the mill and there will be time to have a look around this impressive building.

Then we break for lunch. The Mill House pub is very close by or you can eat your sandwiches within the grounds of the mill.

After lunch we plan to go to Crawley Museum to look at some exhibits on the creation of the Manor Royal Industrial Estate; in its heyday the largest concentration of industry in Sussex. We hope to be able to see some rare photos and drawings that are not usually on view.

Our trip to the museum will be followed by a visit to the Industrial Estate to view the last remaining factory buildings with the now rare concrete barrel roofs.

Meet at Ifield Mill, Rusper Road, Crawley. Parking is available at the Mill.
