Glias Lectures begin for this season next week on Weds 19th January. This time I have a vested interest as its being given by my husband on one of his pet topics - the History of Computers. The actual title is 'Computers in London, History through Archaeology' and will look at the surviving buildings in Greater London where important developments were made after World War 2.
Although many have heard of the work at Bletchley Park during the war, fewer will be aware of the National Museum of Computing which is on the same site and which is home to all sorts of computers, including some of my own collection of laptops! More information can be found here - http://www.tnmoc.org/
The work of the CCS, Computer Conservation Society has been really vital to the museum and as well as being Treasurer to Glias, my husband is also Treasurer to the CCS.
So as he will be wearing his CCS hat next week, he will be telling us about some hidden history and computing in London. Further details available from the Glias website - http://www.glias.org.uk/

Hi Sue, You seem to know a fair bit about Sheffield - you must tell me what you know. Perhaps you should do a city safari!
Hi Diane
I had planned a Safari for Sheffield, as its not far from where my mother lied in Ashford in the Water, but it did not prove successful!!!! I had hoped to show people Attercliffe where you were recently as well as lots of other gems. Maybe I'll try again and include Doncaster or Rotherham!!
SO keep up the work and show me some more exciting hidden Sheffield spots
