The link to the web site is http://ticcih.org/publications/ However - they won't let you read it yet, but when the next one comes out it will be archived and you can see it - or you can join TICCIH, in which case you will be sent it to read
TICCIH is The International Committee For The Conservation Of The Industrial Heritage, with a web site run by MIT in the US< and their next conference is in Chile - so look at their web site and join them for an interesting, and international life. The Atlantic cable would be right up their street!!!

BOROUGH OF CULTURE BID
Greenwich Council is hoping to bid to be the London Borough of Culture. Some of us have been trying to persuade them that industrial heritage is one of our main cultural strengths (fingers crossed), We understand they will mention the Atlantic Cable, but - that should just be the start!

THE ARSENAL - AIA NEWS
Bob Carr has an article in the current Industrial Archaeology News (183 Winter 2017).. He points out how diffficult and secret this internationally important industrial site was - and how hard it is to research. He talks aboiut its size, and also what remains and what we can find out about them.
He doesn't mention the Arsenal Canal - which is a pity because that is one of the biggest worries at the moment = info later.
The AIA website is www.industrialarchaeology.org
