'History of the Leadworks' - Speaker Geoff Pickard
[[Chairman's Annual Report 2018]]
The Leadworks has dominated the skyline of Chester for over 200 years and has provided employment for many of its citizens. Geoff Pickard, its former works manager has researched the Works in great detail and has recently published an illustrated history; his talk will take us from the lead shot used by soldiers in the Napoleonic Wars to the radiation shields used in submarines, and also tell us about the people involved in their manufacture.
