Overview

The project investigated the emergence of the sand and gravel extraction industry itself in the Trent Valley with the aim of producing a popular publication on its history and archaeology. The industry up until now has been underrepresented in the field of research and yet it plays a significant role in shaping much of our past, present and future. By means of nine case studies the project thus aims to construct a social and business history of the aggregate industry, placing it in both a regional and national context. The technological development of quarrying techniques, machinery and transportation have been considered, as has the archaeological legacy (industrially and otherwise) of over seventy years of commercial extraction. The final focus of the project has been an exploration of the often conflicting demands of mineral extraction, agricultural land use, archaeology, nature conservation and recreation, all of which remain hugely relevant to our lives today.
