Abstract
The Rolt Memorial Lecture, 1993. Industrial Archaeology; Continuity and Change
Marilyn Palmer
135 - 156
Interpretations of the process of industrialisation based on documentary sources emphasise the dramatic nature of the changes which took place. Revisionist economic historians have drawn attention to domestic workers who continued to practise into the nineteenth century. It is put forward that a close examination of the surviving physical evidence enables the existence and type of domestic workplaces to be identified from other sources, particularly maps, and the spatial distribution of nineteenth-century domestic industry to be assessed. Studies of industries including boot and shoe, hosiery, nail- and chain-making, and handloom weaving. It is argued that the application of social theory as utilised in mainstream archaeology can assist the industrial archaeologist to identify changes in patterns of industrial organisation and relationships between employer and employed, thus redressing the balance between change and continuity in the process of industrialisation in Britain.
A Strategy for Industrial Archaeology in the Black Country
Peter Boland
Paul Collins
157 - 169
Due to the speed at which industrial buildings and sites are being lost, often without being recorded first, this paper reports a joint local authority/university venture in the Black Country area of the West Midlands to identify sites through Local Area Surveys. Arising from this, Dudley MBC's 'Strategy for Industrial Archaeology' now allows important sites to be flagged throughout the planning and development process and, with public involvement and the use of existing controls, a degree of protection is afforded. It is hoped that the approach described will form the basis of discussion and encourage similar initiatives elsewhere.
An Experimental Cement Shaft Kiln at Beddingham
Ron G Martin
170 - 183
Reports the results of a survey carried out by the Sussex Industrial History Society in 1989 and 1990. The development of the shaft kiln design was also investigated. Its success was limited and the working life of this example, constructed in the late 1920s, was very short.
The Industrial Archaeology of the Twentieth Century; The Shredded Wheat factory at Welwyn Garden City
Richard J Butterfield
196 - 215
Industrial archaeology has established a role for site evidence in studies of the Industrial Revolution period. The paper calls for the discipline now to include industries which have developed in the twentieth century. It is thought that academic debates, building conservation, and public knowledge would all benefit from such a development. To ascertain whether or not the nature of the site evidence and the skills of industrial archaeologists can bring this about is tested by discussing the theoretical role of site evidence in relation to a number of questions, and testing them in the light of study of the Shredded Wheat factory.
