The IHBC has warmly welcomed the Victorian Society’s Welsh Heritage Day on 3/09 in Cardiff, especially the focus on community engagement which forms a perfect foil both to our Branch CPD and #IHBC25 event on 5/09 and the ‘Technology’ focus in our 2023 School in #IHBCSwansea2023.
‘…an international economic powerhouse that left a legacy of amazing buildings…’
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘We’re delighted to see the Victorian Society take the initiative at this critical time for the built and historic environment of Wales.’
‘We’re of course also delighted to see Griff Rhys Jones continue the same leadership on these matters that we enjoyed hearing about at our #IHBCAberdeen2022 School in June’.
‘The programme offers a perfect foil both to our free Branch CPD and #IHBC25 event on 5/09 and the ‘Technology’ focus in our 2023 School in Swansea: #IHBCSwansea2023.

Griff Rhys Jones, Victorian Society President, said: ‘Wales was totally transformed in the 19th century. Coal, slate and industry created an international economic powerhouse that left a legacy of amazing buildings – chapels, theatres, miners’ institutes, great houses, industrial heritage and more.
Yet today this heritage is too often underappreciated, forgotten and decaying. Welsh Heritage Day will give the public the tools they need to change that. Book your tickets today!’
