Beskrivning

This Handbook provides an informative and accessible guide to the industrial remains of the UK. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in our industrial heritage, giving concise summaries of the history of different industries, together with descriptions of the structures and below-ground remains likely to be encountered. The book also considers the power which drove these industries, the transport network which delivered the products and the houses in which the workforce lived. It further reviews the legislation protecting industrial sites and the problems and potential of their adaptive re-use.

Recensioner i media

"Industrial Archaeology: A Handbook" is arguably the best introductory account to the discipline and will remain so for some time. It deserves to be widely read by amateur and professional alike..." -- IA: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archaeology IA: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archaeology "There has been a clear need for a focused study such as this, which sets out, clearly and methodically, how the discipline has developed, what its priorities are, and how to set about doing it. It has much to offer both the undergraduate and professional looking for a baseline starting point...useful, readable and attractively presented approach to an archaeological resource that is very extensive, and for which very little training is available in universities" -- David Gwyn The Archaeological Journal
