Abstract
The Lloyds, Ironbridge, Shropshire; Some aspects of a nineteenth century mining commun...
Ivor J Brown
5 - 16
The Lloyds, an area between Ironbridge and Coalport, was once an important mining community of pits and houses, most of which have been destroyed by a landslip. An industrial survey of almost the whole of the Gorge was undertaken, but the Lloyds remained as a blank area; this paper attempts to complete the picture. It draws mainly on documentary sources for the 18th and 19th centuries, but also looks at evidence from survey work and excavation, telling the story of the mining company which controlled the operations, the early engines and engineers, and working methods.

Industrial Archaeology; Working for the Future
Marilyn Palmer
17 - 32
A preliminary policy statement for industrial archaeology in the 1990s was written by Marilyn Palmer; this paper incorporates suggestions and comments on the earlier document from numerous organisations and individuals, and is offered as a statement of objectives. Priorities for research and conservation are recommended, with several areas highlighted as requiring urgent action. LD
The Godalming Knitting Industry and its Workplaces
Glenys M Crocker
33 - 54
An early framework knitting industry, peripheral to that of London, was established in south-west Surrey and adjacent areas in the 17th century. In Godalming the industry became specialised during the 18th century, in particular producing underclothing from 1790 until the late 19th century. This article considers the significance of the buildings associated with the industry. In order to place these in their historical context, it first outlines the history of the industry as revealed by documentary sources.
The Rolt Memorial Lecture, 1990; Wind Engines
Ken J Major
55 - 63
In the 1960s the author of this article realised that wind engines, defined as lattice towers carrying an annular sail, were fast disappearing from the British landscape. He examined the pattern of wind engine distribution over an area approximately 50km by 70km, to the west of Reading. Documentary study then identified further sites that were no longer extant. Variants on the standard forms of wind engines are described in the article, and the principal manufacturers are introduced. The urgent need for more volunteers to record and study sites is emphasised, not only for wind engines but for all kinds of industrial monuments. LD
Hydraulic Power in the Port of London
Tim Smith
64 - 88
Hydraulic power was used extensively in the Port of London for over a hundred years. This survey attempts to explain the surviving remains in terms of the complications of the growth of hydraulic networks and the use of hydraulic machinery. Pumping station buildings and accumulator towers are considered in detail following a general historical outline. The reasons for the adoption of hydraulic power, in spite of the high capital cost, are discussed as is the rationalisation of the networks. The final section deals with cranes, capstans, swing bridges and other machinery.
Appendix
86 - 88
In 1853 George Collin, Secretary to the East and West India Dock Company, accompanied by Henry Morton and Mr Knight, the Dock Superintendent, visited Grimsby, Hull, Glasgow and Liverpool to examine different methods of powering dock equipment. This appendix comprises his report, which was inserted into the Company Minute Book.
