‘The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales’ — A New Industrial World Heritage Site
UNESCO’s inscription of ‘The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales’ as a World Heritage Site in 2021 added for the first time a cultural landscape of quarrying to the World Heritage list, the culmination of a 12-year bid process for Gwynedd Council as the promoting local authority. Its six Component Parts exhibit clear visual and functional relationships with the wider landscape of Snowdonia and the sea, but also significant differences in terms of …
Slate Production
The adoption of industrialized processes and the growth of urbanization in the nineteenth century increased the demand for slate, which could be used as a lightweight, practical, and inexpensive roofing material, as well as to produce writing elements (school slates and blackboards), and as architectural components. Though slate is often assumed to be a distinctively Welsh industry, it was quarried and processed in many different parts of the wor…
Railways
Railways were the distinctive ‘industrial era’ transport technology but date to antiquity. They were widely adopted in the context of the English coal industry from the seventeenth century. By 1830 they had become a sophisticated mechanical technology. Key to the railway revolution of the nineteenth century was the steam locomotive engine with the capacity to haul a train carrying primary products, manufactured goods, or people at a national leve…

Understanding the Workplace: A Research Framework for Industrial Archaeology in Britain: 2005
"This volume was first delivered at a conference organised by the Association for Industrial Archaeology in Nottingham in June 2004, and formerly constituted a special issue of Industrial Archaeology Review. The papers have the explicit intention of formulating a research framework for industrial archaeology in the 21st century and demonstrating how far industrial archaeology is now a fully recognised element of mainstream archaeology."

The Conservation of Operational Steam Locomotives
The steam railway locomotive is one of the iconic machines of the Industrial period. This is refl ected in the many examples that have been preserved in museums as static exhibits, and in the replicas that have been constructed of vanished prototypes, such as the Planet and the Tornado. In addition, many historically signifi cant locomotives are now operated on heritage railways, or on heritage services, in ways that potentially affect their hist…
An Amorphous Farrago? The Contribution of Industrial Archaeology
This discussion is off ered as a contribution to the debate within industrial archaeology specifically as to the appropriate focus of the discipline. There has been much discussion in recent years as to the rival claims of an archaeology that emphasises the social context of industrialisation on the one hand, and the importance of the direct study of engineering technology on the other. It will be argued here that there is no necessary and inevit…

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 Rolt Memorial Lecture 2006 The Narrow-Gauge Nations
The following paper is offered as a contribution to understanding the scope and range of i.a. by examining the archaeology of industrialisation within the context of economies within Britain and Ireland where industry was limited in its development and did not constitute the main economic activity. It goes on to suggest on this basis that industrial archaeology needs to engage with other forms of archaeological enquiry in order to make a more eff…

The Landscape Archaeology of the Vale of Ffestiniog
Landscape studies of the archaeology of industrialisation have now become an accepted part of the discipline, and the 'Manchester methodology' as applied by the University of Manchester Archaeological Unit to the Tameside region has made possible a comprehensive narrative of regional industrialisation that has identified the poorer members of the community as the motors of technical, economic and social change. The following paper outlines the wa…
Tredegar, Newcastle, Baltimore
Claims and counterclaims of precedence of invention were once the stock-in-trade of technical history. Not only were engineers' professional reputations and fortunes at stake but aggressive nationalism also stood to lose or gain. Even now, it is the nation-state, whether initiating or receiving, that focuses scholarly studies of technology transfer.1 These have concentrated on industries in which governments restrict the movement of labor and dev…
The industrial town in Gwynedd
Within Gwynedd, industry, in the shape of slate quarrying, and to a lesser extent, working for stone and minerals, developed in a patchy way, comparatively late, within a landscape and a culture that was to remain in many ways rural. Many quarrymen and miners preferred to remain on the land, and made their homes in dispersed cottage settlements. Others established themselves in entirely new towns, which are now recognised as outstanding examples …
Power Systems in Four Gwynedd Slate Quarries
The slate industry of Gwynedd dominated world production of roofing slates and of architectural slabs in the 19th century, but the economics of the early 20th century were far less favourable. Many individual quarries attempted to introduce more cost-effective technology, with mixed results. The following article analyses documentary sources and field-work evidence in order to examine the way in which four quarries made use of a variety of differ…

Myths and Realities of Idi Amin Dada's Uganda
Like several previous publications, the central theme of the books under review is their concern about the violation of human rights in Idi Amin Dada's Uganda. Unlike some of the earlier publications, however, these authors have unquestionable credentials for the task they embarked on. Although, for instance, Gwyn and the Meladys are foreigners, they lived in Uganda and studied Amin at close quarters. Kyemba, on the other hand, was born and raise…
