Abstract
Structuration theory and 19th-century corn milling in Portsmouth
Ray Riley
Tony Yoward
85 - 92
Argues that industrial archaeology often focuses on artefacts, ignoring the wider environment which gave rise to them. With corn milling in nineteenth-century Portsmouth as a case study, structuration theory is employed to bring together the various influences acting upon millers, so placing industrial archaeology within its broader context. The first section is concerned with top-down political, social, economic and physical influences; the second with the reaction by millers to market opportunities, available capital, insurance, the selection of production technology, diversification and family control. The reaction of dockyard men who established their own mill is also considered.
Copperas: an account of the Whitstable copperas works and th...

93 - 112
An array of timber posts set in mortar was exposed by marine erosion on the foreshore of Tankerton Bay, Whitstable, on the North Kent coast in 1995. The posts were established as having been a copperas works, the first major inorganic chemical industry to be established in England. Further research showed that the copperas industry played a previously unexpected role in the industrialisation of the national economy from the late-sixteenth to the late-eighteenth centuries, and that a comprehensive history of the industry has yet to be compiled.
The development of all-metal water towers
Michael H Gould
113 - 123
This paper discusses the development in Britain and Ireland of all-metal water towers. Concentrates on towers that provided public water supplies, but also outlines parallel developments, especially in railway engineering, during the nineteenth century. After 1900, panel tanks formed of steel flanged plates generally supplanted earlier forms of tank construction found on water towers and it was not until the 1950s that other, more pleasing, styles came to be erected, although these found little favour in the water industry and few were ever built. The aesthetic and long-term maintenance problems associated with all-metal water towers are also considered.
Nitro-glycerine washing house, South Site, Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Factory, Essex
Stuart Foreman
125 - 142
This article presents the results of an archaeological survey of the late-nineteenth-century Quinton Hill nitro-glycerine washing house. The building is remarkably well-preserved, retaining many internal fixtures and fittings from the turn of the century. As part of the first government cordite factory, and as the only standing example of its type in the country, the washing house is a monument of national importance.
