Abstract
The Industrial Archaeology of Regions of the British Isles; No.I. East Anglia
David Alderton
7 - 23
East Anglia is best known for its prominent role in agrarian development, yet this in turn created a demand for items such as agricultural implements and fertilisers, leading to the establishment of foundries, limekilns and superphosphate works. Agricultural processing industries like malting and milling were important, as were coastal industries such as fish curing. Much archaeological evidence survives because of the conservatism of local firms and the lack of later industrial development.
Water power on Brownwich Farm - an exercise in excavation at Titchfield, Hampshire
Pamela Moore
24 - 31
The article describes a project undertaken by Southampton University Industrial Archaeology Group in 1982/3, to excavate the site of a water power installation which drove farm machinery from about the 1860s until the early 1940s. Despite careful excavation, certain features of the installation remain enigmatic. However, enough information has been gathered to not only confirm the existence of the installation, but also provide considerable detail as to its character. Au/LD
The Continental origins of Bristol brass ?18th century recruitment from Aachen region
Joan M Day
32 - 56
German entrepreneurs helped to establish the English brass industry during the sixteenth century. Bristol eventually became an important centre for the production of beaten hollow-ware vessels, known as battery ware. This article examines the historical evidence and industrial archaeology of the mining and metallurgical industries of the Aachen area on the borders of France, Germany and Belgium and suggests that a continental workforce may have been recruited there for the Bristol industry during the eighteenth century.
The Rolt Memorial Lecture, 1983. Our debt to Roman engineering: the water supply of Lincoln to the present day
Michael J T Lewis
57 - 73
Lincoln was one of the four colonia of Roman Britain and therefore intended to serve as an example of cultured urban life to the surrounding region. A good water supply was essential in Roman towns but Lincoln, standing above the 200ft contour, could not receive a normal gravity fed system. This paper examines the archaeological evidence for the water supply to Roman Lincoln and looks at how the problem was solved in later generations. Dr Lewis argues that a comparison of the solutions to engineering problems of even the distant past and the present is an important aspect of industrial archaeology.
A survey of Scottish windpumps
Graham J Douglas
Miles Oglethorpe
74 - 84
During the early decades of the twentieth century, wind pumps became popular throughout Scotland, but they are now rapidly disappearing from the Scottish countryside. This paper attempts, using information gained from the Scottish Industrial Archaeology Survey's (SIAS) survey of Scottish windmills, to shed more light upon the spread of wind pumps throughout Scotland. The paper deals briefly with the wind pump manufacturers, and the geographical distribution of the pumps found during the survey. Much of the text is then devoted to the wind pumps themselves, which are illustrated with diagrams.
Lime-kilns on the Gloucestershire-Herefordshire Border
David E Bick
85 - 93
Lime-kilns were extremely common in the 18th and 19th centuries, numbering in their hundreds in Gloucestershire alone. However, most have disappeared without trace. This article records surviving kilns on or near the Gloucestershire-Herefordshire border, extending from Ledbury as far south as Longhope. The sites are confined to three areas, all associated with outcrops of Wenlock Limestone. The sites in each area are briefly described. The paper ends with short sections on kiln capacities and on the chemistry and practice of limeburning. LD
Issues in Urban Industrial Conservation; The Nottingham Lace Market
Roger Smith
139 - 153
The preservation of industrial buildings of historic interest is of prime importance to the industrial archaeologist. Yet many such buildings are situated within the heart of the great manufacturing cities. This article takes the Nottingham Lace Market, which contains some of the finest examples of 19th century industrial buildings, and looks at how various public agencies have attempted to make the area economically viable in order to facilitate conservation and preservation work.
The Granite Quarrying Industry in Devon and Cornwall; Part One, 1800-1910
Peter Stanier
171 - 189
Article highlighting the importance of the often overlooked granite industry in Devon and Cornwall. Although surface stones had been used locally since prehistoric times, it was not until the 19th century that quarrying and an 'export' trade developed. The article summarises the industry during its most active period, when Penryn was the main centre, down to the depression of 1905-10 when there was almost total collapse in the face of Scandinavian competition. It goes on to discuss quarrying methods, the issue of waste, buildings associated with quarries, granite dressing, and granite yards. LD
Does the industrialist want to conserve our industrial heritage?
Margaret Cox
190 - 197
Despite the distinction of the winning projects in the 1984 RICS/The Times Conservation Awards Scheme 'Conserving the Industrial Heritage', some questions on the reuse of industrial buildings were raised in the minds of judges and sponsors. The first category of the scheme, for buildings reused for industrial, commercial or professional purposes, was considered disappointing because very few entries reflected a new industrial use for a building. The six award-winning schemes are presented in this article. The value of publicity is then discussed in light of the prestige attached to the award and the benefits it can bring to the wider conservation movement. LD
Endangered Sites and the Association for Industrial Archaeology
John Crompton
198 - 199
Article on the work being done by the Endangered Sites Officer of the Association for Industrial Archaeology in monitoring applications for consent to demolish or alter listed or scheduled industrial structures. Some general trends in types of applications and some areas for concern are noted. The spot-listing of the 1861 Ferry Terminal at Woodside, Birkenhead, is mentioned as a case study, and the representation of the Association at three Public Inquiries is briefly described. LD
