  • Industrialized Conflict

    Wayne Cocroft, Wayne D CocroftCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Industrial…2022

    This chapter discusses the complex relationship between the state and the manufacture of armaments. These are goods almost exclusively consumed by governments and in which they have close interest in acquiring the most technically advanced products. So vital was this industry that in many instances munitions manufacture was undertaken in government factories. During the late nineteenth century, states became increasingly reliant on large, commerc…

  • Cold War

    Open AccessJ Schofield, Wayne Cocroft et al.ARTICLEPost-Medieval Archaeology2021Citada por: 5Referencias: 13

    Although within living memory, many countries now consider their surviving Cold War architecture as part of their heritage. It can even be a priority for heritage managers given that significant buildings are often suitable for reuse while extensive ‘brownfield’ sites such as airfields can be used for large-scale redevelopment. In a number of countries whose work we refer to here (notably the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe), agencies resp…

  • The Archaeology of Military Communications

    Wayne Cocroft, Wayne D CocroftARTICLEIndustrial Archaeology Review2013

    The application of wireless communications to the conduct of military operations was one of the transformational technologies of the 20th century. In the UK, despite this importance, it is a topic that has received relatively little attention from historians of technology and industrial archaeologists. This article briefly reviews the development of military communications technology and its archaeological and architectural legacies

  • The aerodrome

    Open AccessJ Schofield, Wayne Cocroft et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Archaeology2012Citada por: 2Referencias: 7

    English Heritage and others are often called upon to record historic aviation sites, along with a range of other comparable (in scale and complexity) former military and industrial places. Recording typically takes place once the site is abandoned and prior to its redevelopment. RAF Coltishall (Norfolk, UK) presented a rare opportunity to record the site while it remained in use, and to continue to record it during the period of drawdown and clos…

  • The Rolt Memorial Lecture 2008 'Dan Dare's Lair' — The Industrial Archaeology of Britain's Post-War Technological Renaissance

    Wayne Cocroft, Wayne D CocroftARTICLEIndustrial Archaeology Review2009Citada por: 1

    The theme of the 2008 Association for Industrial Archaeology conference seminar was 'Modern military matters'. Modern military sites have much in common with large industrial sites. They are places of employment for many hundreds of people, incorporate complex technologies, and are also creators of new landscapes and communities. This paper explores the places created and used to develop and manufacture many of the products that were portrayed as…

  • The Development of the Chilworth Gunpowder Works, Surrey, from the Mid-19th Century

    Wayne Cocroft, Wayne D Cocroft et al.ARTICLEIndustrial Archaeology Review2005

    This paper describes the results of the recent archaeological survey of the Chilworth gunpowder works carried out by English Heritage. Although there has been intensive documentary research into the earlier history of the works, the later development of the factory is comparatively little known. Its transformation in the late 19th century from a family-owned concern to a limited company, with strong international links, reflects important themes …
