Nico Ditch
Nico Ditch is an enigmatic curvilinear earthwork, the core of which runs for c. 8km across the southern part of the City of Manchester from Hough Moss to Ashton Moss. Although much of its length was built over during the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries, where it survives as an earthwork it comprises a U-shaped ditch 2m to 3m wide and 1.5m to 2m deep, with possibly a low bank on its northern side. This article reviews research into the or…

Mechanical Engineering and the Integrated Engineering Works
This chapter looks at the development of mechanical engineering and integrated engineering works in Britain from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. It focusses on the main buildings on the sites, including pattern shop, foundry and forge, fitting and machine shops, erecting shops, drawing and management buildings, and furnaces and power systems. Excavated examples at the Govan iron works, Thames iron works and shipbuilding company, and Jo…
The Archaeology of the Iron and Steel Industries in Britain
This chapter deals with the physical remains of the iron and steel industry in Britain. The focus is on extraction and processing rather than the products. The archaeological evidence spans the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, but with an emphasis on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Although the traditional industrial archaeological focus has been the charcoal an coke blast furnace remains, there are many other production elements th…
Warehouses c .1770 to 1914
This chapter covers the new warehouse types of the industrial period in Britain, from the mid-eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. This includes those commercial building types involved with the short- to medium-term storage and distribution of raw and manufactured industrial goods. Such new building types could be found clustered in the manufacturing towns and along the canals and railways. Their design and scale were influenced by…
Industrial Workers’ Housing in Britain
This chapter focuses on the archaeological and standing buildings evidence for industrial housing directly associated with industry and urbanization in Britain during the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries. Such housing was a necessary counterpart to the urban, steam-powered factory. Industrial housing encompasses many building types, the primary ones being blind-backs, back-to-backs, court houses, through-houses, tenements, an…
The Archaeology of the British Coal Industry
This chapter concentrates on the archaeology of the coal industry within Britain, with a focus on extraction, processing, and transport, while placing the eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century industrial remains within a wider European context. It describes the remains of the extraction process, mostly now only visible above ground, although opencast mining does sometimes produce below-ground evidence. It looks at the issues of drainage…
Thermographic Detection of Hidden Archaeological Features in a Cheshire Thatched Cottage, and Related Aspects of Thermal Performance
Thermography can be an important tool for professionals working with traditional buildings. It is recognised by Historic England as providing information on a variety of structural features within buildings. Infrared thermography (IRT) is an acknowledged retrofit tool for reducing carbon emissions from traditional buildings. The paper explores the potential application of thermography as a tool for detecting infrared images emitted by the interna…
The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Archaeology
Representing the first substantial English-language text on industrial archaeology in a decade, this volume comes at a time when the global impact of industrialization is being reassessed in terms of its legacy of climate change, mechanization, urbanization, the forced migration of peoples, particularly enslaved Africans, and labour relations. Critical debates around the beginning of a new geological era—the Anthropocene—have emerged over the las…
Unmarginalising participation in the past and enabling engagement in community archaeology – Dig Greater Manchester, a case study
Dig Greater Manchester (DGM) was a large archaeological community engagement project operating within Britain during the years 2011 to 2016. Its scope and scale were designed to assess the impact of enabling local communities and individuals to acquire and enhance heritage skills and awareness of heritage-based practices, whilst also contributing to the exploration of the city region's experience of industrialisation. This paper looks at the ways…
Power and innovation
This paper reviews the archaeological evidence for the use of stationary steam engines on colliery and textile manufacturing sites in the Manchester city region prior to 1806. It draws upon fieldwork undertaken as a result of developer-funded archaeological work as well as research excavation projects. A series of case studies are used to show the value of excavation in recovering the evidence for early steam technology. In the absence of detaile…

Excavating ‘Hell Upon Earth’ Towards a Research Framework for the Archaeological Investigation of Workers’ Housing
This paper uses 16 years of targeted fieldwork on excavating workers’ housing in the Manchester region, UK, to assess a variety of research approaches to the investigation of urban industrial housing of the late 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. Manchester was one of the ‘shock’ cities of industrial Britain, and a honey pot for social commentary during the Victorian period. Using data from more than 30 excavation sites it looks at the way in w…
Evolving Approaches for Recording the Textile Mill
This short paper notes some of the recent development s in textile mill recording in Britain focussing on developer-funded work. Targeted excavation of a mill's power systems can help to explain the site's development
Revisiting the Iconic
Examples of excavated 18th century stationary steam engine sites are very rare in Britain. This article records the rescue excavations ahead of road-building works of one such site in 1974-5 at Reelfitz Pit in Little Clifton, Cumberland. The Reelfitz Pit pumping engine was built around 1780 and abandoned in 1781. The remains uncovered show that the site had two external boilers and a narrow engine house with a cylinder on the ground floor. The ex…
What’s the Point of Recording 20th-Century Industrial Archaeology
This short opinion piece discusses why recording 20th century Industrial Archaeology is challenging but necessary
Legislation and Reality
This paper looks at some of the excavated material for British urban workers’ housing, built and occupied during the period 1800 to 1950 in the Ancoats area of Manchester: Ancoats was notorious amongst contemporary writers and campaigners for its poor quality and over-crowded housing. This archaeological evidence has emerged as a result of developer-funded excavations and represents part of a growing body of data collected since 1990 from within …

The Archaeology of the Rural Railway Warehouse in North-West England
This article studies in detail two rural railway warehouses of the mid-19th century from North-West England. Structures such as these were an integral part of the branch lines and secondary lines that developed across the network during the mid- to late 19th century. The two warehouses recorded \nhere each reflected the needs of the railway company. The warehouse at Delph was a multi-purpose structure, whilst the Summerseat warehouse appears to h…
People Versus Machines or People and Machines? Current Research Directions within British Postmedieval and Industrial Archaeology
This chapter reviews the continuing debate about the scope and role of industrial archaeology that was sparked by the publication of Understanding the Workplace, a research framework published by the Association for Industrial Archaeology in 2005. Since this volume focuses upon the landscape and social impacts of industrialisation, a number of industrial archaeologists have felt that the traditional interests of the discipline, the survey and rec…

Crossing paths or sharing tracks
Brings together over thirty of the leading scholars in Post Medieval archaeology and examines how this relatively new discipline has developed and where it is going. The impetus for this volume lies in the expansion of interest in Post Medieval archaeology in university, commercial, and voluntary sectors. The study of Post Medieval archaeology is a relatively new discipline but, within archaeology as a whole, it represents one of the fastest grow…

The Archaeology of Industrialisation and the Textile Industry
Social cues, such as eye gaze and pointing fingers, can increase the prioritisation of specific locations for cognitive processing. A previous study using a manual reaching task showed that, although both gaze and pointing cues altered target prioritisation (reaction times [RTs]), only pointing cues affected action execution (trajectory deviations). These differential effects of gaze and pointing cues on action execution could be because the gaze…
The Archaeology of the Canal Warehouses of North-West England and the Social Archaeology of Industrialisation
North-West England was the site of Britain's first canal and of one of the last true canal warehouses. The Duke's Warehouse in the Castlefield Canal Basin in Manchester was the first canal warehouse to have the classic design features of internal canal arms, multi-storeys, split level loading, terracing and water powered hoists, and was built between 1769 and 1771. The Great Northern Warehouse, in the centre of Manchester, was the last of the mon…

Excavating the Iconic
Steam engines were one of the first machine-types to attract the attention of antiquarians and later Industrial Archaeologists. From the first Newcomen engine in 1712 to the 20th-century steam turbine, these objects still exert a fascination for archaeologists and historians of the Industrial Era. None more so than the Newcomen or more properly the atmospheric steam engine. Such engines were described by L.T.C. Rolt as one of the prehistoric fore…

The Social Archaeology of Industrialisation
The Archaeology of Industrialisation and the Textile Industry
Between the early 18th century and the mid-19th century the north-west of England was turned from a relatively impoverished backwater to one of the major industrialisation zones in the world. This is thus a key region for understanding the archaeology of the early stages of industrialisation. The area around Manchester was at the heart of this process, which was driven in this region by the mechanisation of the textile industry. The archaeologica…
