  • Mapping Newcomen-Type Engines During the 18th Century in Prescot and Whiston

    Maurice Handley, Ben CroxfordARTICLEIndustrial Archaeology Review2025

    The introduction of the Newcomen engine in the early 18th century and its use for draining mines is often regarded as the start of the Industrial Revolution. The first such engine in Lancashire was installed at Whiston in 1719 and several others were set up subsequently by local landowners and coal-mine owners. The adoption of this new technology was not, however, uniform or particularly rapid. Issues of finances and profitability along with disp…

  • Can Exhaled Carbon Monoxide Be Used as a Marker of Exposure? A Cross-Sectional Study in Young Adults

    Open AccessKe‐Ting Pan, Giovanni Leonardi et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a major public health issue worldwide. People are exposed to CO in their daily lives, with one of the common sources of CO being cigarette smoking. Inhalation of CO leads to elevated carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) levels in the blood and also in exhaled CO concentration. Several factors have been shown to affect COHb concentration and COHb half-life. However, factors affecting exhaled CO concentration and exhaled CO h…

  • Art in Roman Britain

    Ben Croxford, Martin Millett et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of Roman Britain2015

    The art of Roman Britain has often been sidelined or even denigrated, largely as a result of modern sensibilities concerning quality. Focusing on the moment of creation alone overlooks the longevity of objects, and the multiple and even conflicting potential interpretations by contemporary and later observers. How accurately any given art object may have been read is a problematic issue and one that continues today; there is a false confidence in…

  • A Gilt-Bronze Arm from London

    Open AccessJustine Bayley, Ben Croxford et al.ARTICLEBritannia2009

    The left hand and forearm from a slightly over life-size bronze or copper-alloy arm was excavated during 2001 at 20–30 Gresham Street, within the City of London. It was discarded in a quarry pit, which fooded with groundwater turning it into a pond and was subsequently backflled C.A.D. 60–70. The arm was presumably part of a public statue, perhaps of an emperor or god, which had been deliberately broken up. The Boudican revolt of A.D. 60/1 is one…

  • The photo‐survey research method

    Gemma Moore, Ben Croxford et al.ARTICLEVisual Studies2008

    Recent promotion of city centre living within UK policy has led to a commensurate interest in city centre conditions and the opinions and experiences of the people who live there. An apposite, straightforward method to capture city centre residents' experiences and views is described in this article. We successfully combined a novel, under-utilized visual technique (self-directed photography) with qualitative methods (log-sheets and interviews) i…

  • The 24-hour City

    Mags Adams, Gemma Moore et al.ARTICLEThe Senses and Society2007Cited by: 16References: 13

    The concept of the 24-hour city evokes vibrancy and a dynamic that suggests the harmonious coexistence of mixed land uses which might otherwise be considered improbable neighbors. In reality we see a 24-hour city full of diverse uses, needs and requirements, potentially at odds with one another. This paper addresses a gap in the literature on sensory cities by providing an interpretation of the city with reference to residents' sensorial experien…

  • Sustainable Soundscapes

    Open AccessMags Adams, Trevor J Cox et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2006Cited by: 7References: 9

    This paper introduces regulatory components influencing city soundscapes in Europe and the UK, illustrating the abatement approach taken within noise policy, demonstrating the importance of individual experience in assessing the soundscapes of urban environments and identifying a terminology to facilitate an introduction of soundscapes into the planning process. Drawing on work from soundscape ecology, a way is demonstrated to coalesce these dive…

  • Iconoclasm in Roman Britain

    Ben CroxfordARTICLEBritannia2003Cited by: 8References: 5

    Studies of the presence of Christianity in Roman Britain occasionally utilise a form of ‘negative evidence’: the destruction of pagan images. That this destruction is iconoclasm carried out by Christians is too readily assumed. Christian iconoclastic attacks did occur elsewhere in the Roman Empire, the question is whether we have been uncritical in automatically applying such evidence to the damaged Romano-British images. The apparent preference …
