Abstract
The Rolt Memorial Lecture 2008; 'Dan Dare's Lair' '” The Industrial Archaeology of...
Wayne D Cocroft
5 - 19
Explores the places created and used to develop and manufacture many of the products that were portrayed as representing the rebirth of post-war Britain as a major industrial power. Notes that many of the new industries were based on technologies developed in the Second World War (including radar, jet and rocket engines, and military and civil atomic power) and that, politically, the World Wars had left a legacy of heavy government involvement in scientific research establishments and the state as the main customer for their products. Argues that this relationship was strengthened in the post-war decades as the development of high-tech weaponry was seen as one means of countering the growing threat from the Soviet Union and its allies.
Warehouses, Wharves and Transport Infrastructure in Manchester During the Industrial Revolution; The Rochdale Canal Company's Piccadilly Basin, 179...

Alan Kidd
20 - 33
Draws on the archives of the Rochdale Canal Company to study Manchester's canal-transport infrastructure in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, complementing recent research by industrial archaeologists. Analyses the establishment of the Rochdale Canal Company's Piccadilly Basin from 1792-1856, a period when the company built eight multi-storeyed warehouses and laid out 25 wharves to facilitate its trade. Assesses the basin's economic functions, drawing comparisons with Manchester's other canal basins.
Excavations at Lochrin Distillery, Edinburgh
Richard Heawood
34 - 53
In 2005, Abercorn Archaeology LLP excavated parts of the former distillery (founded in 1780 and mothballed and re-opened several times before finally closing in 1848), concentrating on the still house. Remains of six still bases considered to derive from three phases of construction were recorded, together with the footings of a worm tub and a large basement structure. It is suggested that the excavations have clarified the evolution of the distillery, confirming that large lowland distilleries of the period were dynamic enterprises, frequently adapted in the light of the challenges facing the industry.
A Fading Memory; The North Yorkshire Coastal Alum Industry in the L...
Marcus Jecock
54 - 73
Reviews the present understanding of the industrial process of alum production in the light of recent analytical field survey by English Heritage of four hitherto poorly recorded works, three of which are coastal. Highlights the disproportionate loss of certain classes of features at the coastal sites, and advocates the need to do more to compare the latter to their inland counterparts, to place the industry in its wider British and European context, and to examine it from an economic as well as a technological perspective.
