Early Railways Conference 4 - Thur 12 Jun to Sun 15 Jun 2008.
The Fourth International Early RailwaysConference is to be held in 2008 at University College, London — a most appropriate venue, as it is believed to be the site of Trevithick’s public demonstration of his Catch-Me-Who-Can locomotive in 1808, made famous by the images of the event attributed to Thomas Rowlandson.
The conference will commence on the evening of Thursday 12 June and finish at lunchtime on Sunday 15 June 2008. Further details and a booking form can be found here - www.early.railwayhistory.me.uk.
