Abstract
Liberty at Sea
Robert J M Carr
1 - 2
A history of the WWII Liberty Ships -- mass-produced vessels of welded (rather than riveted) construction that were constructed to carry supplies to Britain from America. Due to their construction, Liberty Ships tended to suffer from serious stress fractures. The only surviving unaltered example, the SS~Jermiah O'Brien, is described.
News
8 - 10
Short notes on diverse topical industrial archaeology issues (some by separate contributors).
Regional news
Industrial archaeology news from the `West of England' by Mike Bone, `East Anglia' by David Alderton, and the `West Midlands' by Jack Powell.
Not oppressively daunting: coping with the closure of major industrial sites
Geoffrey Starmer
A shortened version of a paper circulated at the AIA Affiliated Societies Weekend in April 1995, which considered five questions: `What is a large industry?', `What is important about a large industry?', `What is happening to large industries?', `How should industrial archaeologists respond to these changes?', and `What documentary records already exist?'. Subsequent debate of these issues is summarised, which included outline methodologies for the collection of documentary records and the construction of building typologies.
Comment
Bill Thompson
Questions the conservation ethics of a restoration scheme being undertaken by Calderdale MBC on the Rochdale Canal between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge (West Yorkshire). The work is altering the way a lock functions and is allegedly being done without listed building consent. Work on the Black Pits aqueduct is also criticised for its use of inappropriate materials.
Airborne fallout from industrial sources
K A Martin
The use of pollen grains surviving in peat deposits to establish vegetation and climatic changes is well known. Now a study of the bog at Gwaun Nant Ddu (Powys) suggests that traces of minute particles found in some peats could represent industrial fallout (from sites in the Glamorgan valleys).
