The Rolt Memorial Lecture 2019
This paper concerns aspects of the granite industry in South West England, appropriately the region for the 2019 AIA Conference. It turns aside from spectacular industrial archaeology to address a concern for some of the little things that are so readily forgotten. The subject is parochial but shows how over two centuries a relatively little industry and its little quarries in Cornwall and Devon left a lasting physical legacy in many overlooked w…

The Granite Quarrying Industry in Devon and Cornwall
Part One of this article (Industrial Archaeology Review, VII, no 2, Spring 1985, 171-89) described nineteenth century granite working techniques, with an outline history of the industry in Devon and Cornwall. Granite quarrying developed as a direct result of public civil engineering works in the Victorian period, such as breakwaters, bridges, docks, dockyards, lighthouses and public buildings. All required a material of great endurance, and grani…

The Granite Quarrying Industry in Devon and Cornwall Part One 1800-1910
Dominated by metal mining in both counties, this much overlooked industry played an important role in its inclusion in major civil engineering and building works of Victorian Britain. In the former, it excelled over the better known Aberdeen granite industry. Although surface stones had been used locally since prehistoric times, it was not until the nineteenth century that quarrying and an 'export' trade developed.Penryn became the main centre, w…
The Copper Ore Trade of South West England in the Nineteenth Century
The founders have depots in the principal ports of Cornwall and Devonshire, where the ore is stored. It is transported to Swansea in vessels of 100 to 150 tons, which draw very little water, so that they can discharge their cargoes at all states of the tide in the yards of the companies, which are nearly all situated on the edge of the river
