One of the first signs of Spring, along with the lighter evenings
is the ALHS lectures returning to the Borough Theatre! This is good news for most of us but less so for those of you who have enjoyed watching the lectures from home. We would like to have Zoom from the Borough Theatre in the future but costs prevent it at the moment. The theatre is happy to accommodate wheelchairs so contact us if you would like a wheelchair space booked for you.
February saw the publication of our journal – the Gobannium Gazette. This is the second edition of our journal, which we hope will lead to many more in the future. Download it here.

Brecon Beacons Tramroads - Past, Present and Future

From the early days of the industrial revolution the need to transport quarried and mined materials to canals, rail heads and road transport depots led to the proliferation of horse drawn tramroads. These tramroads now form well-worn pathways in our historic landscape. https://www.brecknocksociety.wales/events/j5pal8rnfmhyznaleae6psk8pmkmwa
