Saturday Lecture

Saturday Feb 8th 2025 2pm: Niplands Kiln, an unexpected encounter with historical brick making in the Chilterns
Speaker: James Mortimer

Niplands

In 2020 and 2023 the former Niplands Brick Works, near Bourne End, suffered two separate collapse events relating to former shafts/ bell pits used to extract clay and chalk which were used in the brick and tile making process. These events led to a flurry of activity including the use of the latest laser technology to map the features ahead of their remediation. This talk looks into the history of the Site and the events which occurred more recently.

 

Please come to the Discover Bucks Museum or Register now for the online lecture Here  (We will email the Zoom meeting invitation to you).

Tea and Coffee will be available as will the BAS pre-loved book stall.
