Abstract
English steelmaking in the seventeenth century: the excavation of two cementation furnaces at Coal...
Paul Belford
Ronald Ross
105 - 123
The paper describes the excavation of the first cementation steel furnaces in England, built by Sir Basil Brooke at Coalbrookdale early in the seventeenth century. The coal-fired furnaces were in operation from c. 1619 to the end of the seventeenth century, and formed part of a much larger ironworking complex. Excavation revealed the remains of two furnaces and associated buildings, constructed in at least two phases. The paper also includes the metallurgical analysis of refractory materials, as well as discussion about the role of the furnaces in the broader context of English steelmaking of the period.
The north Worcestershire scythe industry
Peter W King
124 - 147
The paper places north Worcestershire, as a centre of scythe manufacture, in the national context of the industry. It is argued that the distribution of blade mills in the north Worcestershire scythe district reflects that of the scythesmiths, whose products they sharpened. Blade mills in Chaddesley Corbett can be traced back to the fifteenth century, and one in Halesowen (perhaps not for scythes) to 1312. The fabrication of scythes was for a long time a manual trade, with water power only used for the final stage of sharpening the blade. However, in the late-eighteenth century, water-powered plating forges began to be used to form the scythe blade. Includes
