Abstract
ABSTRACT In 2020 excavations took place on the site of the former Park Glasshouse, Birmingham, established in 1788, and subsequently the location of the Baker and Allen German Silver Works, opened in 1895. Sufficient of the glasshouse survived to enable several phases of development to be identified, one of which involved the installation, trialling and adoption c. 1860 of what then was an innovative Siemens gas regenerator that considerably improved the efficiency of the furnace. This report presents the documentary background and results of the excavations, as well as the scientific analysis of the glass waste and related products recovered from the site.
期刊介绍：
Industrial Archaeology Review aims to publish research in industrial archaeology, which is defined as a period study embracing the tangible evidence of social, economic and technological development in the period since industrialisation, generally from the early-18th century onwards. It is a peer-reviewed academic journal, with scholarly standards of presentation, yet seeks to encourage submissions from both amateurs and professionals which will inform all those working in the field of current developments. Industrial Archaeology Review is the journal of the Association for Industrial Archaeology. Published twice a year, the focal point and common theme of its contents is the surviving evidence of industrial activity.
