Soho House
• The Lunar Society was a remarkable grouping of gifted polymaths who met every month in Birmingham (Soho house) on the Monday nearest the full moon (when there was most light to travel home by) from 1765 until 1813.
• It has been written that 'The Lunar Society was second only to the Royal Society in its importance as a gathering place for scientists, inventors and natural philosophers during the second half of the eighteenth century'. In fact, it was more than that. These men were interested not merely in science, but especially in the application of science to manufacturing, mining, transportation, education, medicine and much else. They were, if you like, the revolutionary committee of the Industrial Revolution.
