Unravelling the past of the Wyre Forest

Unravelling the Past!

LASER TECHNOLOGY IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY
Are you interested in the history of the Wyre Forest Landscape?

The Wyre Forest Landscape Partnership take great pleasure in inviting you to a special event; Wyre Forest Landscape - Unravelling the Past!

To be held in the Think Tank Theatre, on Tuesday 3rd June 2008 from 16:00 to 18:30 at Think Tank, Millennium Point, Birmingham.

We are at the start of an exciting process, scratching away the canopy of the forest to reveal hidden heritage features beneath. A few small areas have been revealed already, revealing medieval ridge and furrow, medieval farmsteads and relic field-work boundaries!

Come to hear from the experts for yourself and see a virtual flight over the Wyre!

The Seminar will feature break-through aerial survey techniques, and their use in unravelling the woodland history and archaeological features! Scientists and experts will be talking about the project, what has been done and features that have started to emerge.

Please call or e-mail by 2nd June to reserve your seat
