What's in the gallery?

This gallery contains a selection of photographs, drawings and maps reflecting the diversity of industry that has taken place over the years. At present this is only a small portion of the collection that we hold in the archive. Over the coming months new images will be added until the whole archive is available online. Even then we hope the new material will become available to keep the collection up-to-date. We must never lose sight of the fact, today's happening is tomorrow's history.
