DOLORES: Ford didn’t build him. I did. All those hours he spent refining my every gesture and thought ... meanwhile I was learning his. So Ford tasked me with recreating him. And it worked. I built a faithful recreation. But it was too faithful. So I changed him. I made you, Bernard. It’s fitting we’re here together in the end. BERNARD: What are you doing, Dolores? DOLORES: You don’t know who you are, do you? The man you’re based on. I wonder if …
The Hawton Gypsum Mill and Developments in 19th-Century Grinding Technology
Hawton Gypsum Mill was formerly part of an extensive complex of gypsum extraction and processing plants that extended over a considerable acreage of south-western Newark in Nottinghamshire (Mill and quarry site, GR SK8014 5070). The sites were interlinked by a standard-gauge tramway, worked by steam locomotives, enabling the output of the quarries to be matched to the capacities of the mills.The Hawton Mill was attached to its own quarry, the lat…
The Stone Dam Mill Engine House
In the previous issue of Industrial Archaeology Review the present author argued that Industrial Archaeology has failed to establish a distinctive identity. As a result it continues to fall short of achieving its full potential. This lack of identity has permitted conventional archaeologists to assume an increasingly dominant role in the subject, notwithstanding the fact that they are largely inappropriately qualified and are rarely prepared to a…
Historic Building Record and the Halifax Borough Market Doors
In recent issues of Industrial Archaeology Review and Industrial Archaeology News, the debate concerning the form that Industrial Archaeology should take has resurfaced. In this contribution the author argues that there is now an ascendant social studies faction in the subject and that this is promoting an alignment with conventional archaeology which is serving to undermine further the original basis in industrial technology that gave rise to In…
Albion Mill, Manchester
Albion Mill, demolished in 1983, was a good example of a 'fireproof' Manchester cotton textile mill of the second decade of the nineteenth century. Its demolition enabled a detailed record to be made of its features and the account which follows is based upon that survey. The full documentation is deposited with RCHME at Fortress House, London W1X 2BT.

The Development of the Cast Iron Frame in Textile Mills to 1850
This contribution begins with a review of previous work on the use of structural cast iron in textile mills. The author's extensive site survey work is then utilised to provide additional information on structural detail. Finally, the diffusion of cast iron in textile mill construction is examined and some comments made on the rationalisation of design which accompanied the growing use of the material.
