Abstract
The Rolt Memorial Lecture 2013; The Public Benefit of Industrial Heritage -- Takin...
Miles Oglethorpe
85 - 96
This paper contains a summary of the 2013 Rolt Memorial Lecture, delivered to the annual conference of the Association for Industrial Archaeology in Dundee in August 2013. The lecture commenced by observing the extent to which Industrial Heritage has progressed in recent decades, noting that it is now embedded in many national institutions in the UK, and has been 'mainstreamed' into heritage more generally. However, it now faces several serious challenges, not least the diminishing number and increasing age of activists, together with cuts to the public sector. It is argued, nevertheless, that industrial heritage has more to offer now than ever before and that more effective political engagement is required to ensure this is understood by those with power and influence over the historic environment. To illustrate this point, current work on the Industrial Heritage Strategy for Scotland is discussed, together with the potential impact of the UK's latest industrial World Heritage nomination, the Forth Bridge.
Revisiting the Iconic; the Excavation of the Reelfitz Pit Engine and the ...

Examples of excavated 18th-century stationary steam engine sites are very rare in Britain. This article records the rescue excavations ahead of road-building works of one such site in 1974'“75 at Reelfitz Pit in Little Clifton, Cumberland. The Reelfitz Pit pumping engine was built around 1780 and abandoned in 1781. The remains uncovered show that the site had two external boilers and a narrow engine house with a cylinder on the ground floor. The excavation uncovered three engine parts from within the engine house: the piston flange from the cylinder, the connecting link from the piston rod to the beam, and one of the chain links which fitted into the piston head. The current work discusses the site in terms of the development of the West Cumberland coalfield and in the context of the surviving 18th-century Newcomen engines.
