Industrial Revelation-Trail
We can trace the acceleration of Global Warming back to the beginning of the industrial revolution and especially to the start of steam. The rise of
the machine has meant the burning of more fossil fuels and the heating up of the planet leading to serious climate change. It has also allowed
human beings to use up earth’s natural resources faster than they can grow back. Whilst we celebrate the industrial revolution at the London
Museum of Water and Steam, we are becoming more aware of the damage it has done to the planet. This is the “Industrial Revelation”!
Can we rectify the situation? From now on we need to consider the planet in everything we do and stop investing in fossil fuels. You could try
changing your bank! Take a look at the environmental information in the museum on October 9th too…

“Self Made Man” Sculpture
Situated in Moormead Park, Twickenham
“Derek Pearce’s stunning furniture sculptures are famous
worldwide, collected by everyone from Rock Stars to
Royalty…even at art school he was developing ideas in
many spheres, perhaps surprisingly in theatre and music.
15 years of touring with his own band, writing and
performing songs featuring humorous wordplay that would
become the trademark of his later design work.”
