Welcome
These web pages have been produced by Avon Industrial Buildings Trust (AIBT) to champion the industrial archaeology of the Bristol/Avon area – a region that can rightly claim to be one of the birthplaces of the Industrial Revolution as many of the industrial process were at the cutting edge of the technologies of their time.
Time has not always been kind to the area's industrial infrastructure. While some buildings and structures are still in use today, or been lovingly preserved, there are many others that have either been deliberately demolished or allowed to decay into nothing. Which makes it all the more important to preserve what is left now for the enjoyment of future generations.
The AIBT is a small charity that has been working on the preservation of the area's industrial infrastructure for over 25 years. If you would like to join us, or wish to know more about us, please contact us at info@aibt.org. We hope you enjoy reading about our diverse projects...
