MISSION

The mission of the project is to create a lasting memorial/celebration of the Lost Industries of Southwark and an understanding of industrial change.

It is hoped that it will help prevent the piecemeal destruction of what is a priceless piece of our industrial heritage and we hope it will encourage people to get fitter by walking around to see what wonders are left!

The intended outputs are:

1.Educational Resources to be distributed to local schools.
2.A walk marked with plaques marking the sites of the lost
3.A series of events, a conference, lectures and walks etc

The resources will be made available both in hard copy and on a web site so that the longevity of the project is not restricted to the life oa particular print run.
