The installation process of these pioneering new technologies at Hatfield House, their location within the house, how they functioned and their probable impact on the household are investigated through surviving correspondence, receipts, plans and the physical evidence preserved within the house. When identified, recorded and interpreted, this evidence can contribute to our greater understanding not only of the early adoption of technology in the 19th century, but of the complex way that two separate but interdependent groups of people (employers and servants) lived, worked and communicated in a great country house, while maintaining distance, privacy and the division of rank.","PeriodicalId":42635,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Archaeology Review","volume":"45 1","pages":"32 - 47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42650051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, fresh evidence for the tramroad’s drainage system, turnouts and gateways has allowed a reassessment of the earlier studies, enabling a more complete narrative of the tramroad to be presented. The article is divided into four parts. The first part outlines the history of the canals to which the Bryn Oer Tramroad was connected, and the second discusses the historical context of the tramroad. The third part provides an archaeological evaluation of the tramroad, whilst the final part discusses the comparative importance of the tramroad within the context of late 18th- and early 19th-century transport networks in South-East Wales.","PeriodicalId":42635,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Archaeology Review","volume":"45 1","pages":"48 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45450958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking the smelting furnace found at the Linjiangerdui site in Zhong County as an example, this paper introduces and discusses the form, use and maintenance of the zinc-smelting furnace of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1368–1644), and makes a preliminary comparison with the smelting furnaces dating to the Qing Dynasty (AD 1636–1912) unearthed in Shizhu County and the mountainous Hunan Province in an attempt to elucidate the development and evolution of ancient Chinese zinc-smelting technology.","PeriodicalId":42635,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Archaeology Review","volume":"45 1","pages":"59 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48110943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historical and techno-architectural approaches are used to develop an understanding of both the historical context and the colonial agrarian strategy that led to the creation of these Algerian docks and grain silos. The architectural features and construction of the Hennebique reinforced-concrete structures and the grain-handling procedures are described.

Most comprised a series of temporary huts that were erected from prefabricated components, and whilst some were put to new uses following the war most have now been cleared. The former Weston Hostel near Crewe in Cheshire is one such camp that appears to have originally comprised 35 huts of which 23 survived to varying degrees in 2019, when the site was subject to an archaeological survey prior to its clearance in advance of a housing development. All of the huts were either Curved Asbestos or Nissen Bow types, and were recorded using the latest survey technologies, providing a valuable archive for future research into this diminishing monument type.","PeriodicalId":42635,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Archaeology Review","volume":"44 1","pages":"149 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45090789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the last chapter the authors deal with a larger scale issue — the relationship between the adaptive reuse of factories and urban regeneration of districts and cities. For this purpose, former industrial zones in Turin, Milan, Venice and Rome were examined. Again, readers may see some of the previously described industrial sites, this time shown from a different angle. There is no typical concluding chapter. However, this gap is filled by an epilogue (or afterword) by Giovanni Luigi Fontana — a former president of AIPAI, a professor of architecture, and an outstanding specialist in the field of industrial heritage protection. What is more, the lack of a traditional summary opens an opportunity for readers to draw their own conclusions, as Eduardo Curra indicated in his foreword. Regarding the structure of the book, a comparison of a particular building ‘as it was’ and ‘as it is’ might be problematic and demanding for readers, who have to look back and forth through the content of two chapters. It would be much easier to follow if some guidance or index was provided. The book is fully bilingual (in English and Italian), and richly illustrated. The authors tried to find a balance between the visually appealing photographs and plans as well as diagrams. It is always a difficult task, to make content interesting for different circles of readership. In this case, not only images but also the text seem to be successful in this respect. The book is a valuable supplement to the literature on adaptive reuse, which— at least in Europe— is becoming a leading trend in architectural activity, and in view of the need to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry, its importance can only increase. At the same time, technological progress means that subsequent industrial buildings will lose their original purpose, so the reviewed publication is not only an excellent summary of Italian achievements but also a reference material for researchers and a source of inspiration for designers preparing further projects to adapt factories.","PeriodicalId":42635,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Archaeology Review","volume":"44 1","pages":"162 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42600675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
