Default Greathead talk, and more...

Hi all,

The Greater London Industrial Archaeology Society (GLIAS) is holding a talk
about Greathead, the inventor of the tunnelling shield and so father of the
*deep* Tube. (Incidentally, there is a statue of him at Bank.)

There are also many other meetings listed on this page which should be of
interest to some people here.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
