London Electrical Society
The London Electrical Society was established in 1837 to enable amateur electricians to meet and share their interests in "experimental investigation of Electrical Science in all its various branches". Although it initially flourished the society soon showed weaknesses in its organisation and ways of working. After a period of considerable financial difficulty it closed in 1845.
