pared with the Neolithic; this is glaringly wrong and the table of five types of stone usage in prehistory should have been modified in several other ways. In term of research and publication, all too often the archaeology and history of quarrying has been the poor relation to the investigation of, and published output for, historic mining; this book helps redress the balance. Despite its imperfections, it comes highly recommended.

converted to other private use) and private individuals. The restorations recognised by the awards have been extended to cover station roofs, bridges, viaducts, tunnels, signal boxes, goods sheds, tea rooms and coal drops, and smaller projects such as a cast-iron gent’s urinal, lighting columns and mileposts. The competition was extended to the Isle of Man in 1987 and to Ireland in 1992. Some 227 locations are listed in the index, but there is no actual list of award winners, although it might be possible to construct one from information in the text and captions. One feels that there should be mention of the parallels between the ‘listing’ of railway buildings and structures and this annual competition? The former is concerned with safeguarding and the latter with restoration, but the two are complementary. To what extent has the competition inspired the rescue of listed buildings? Has it resulted in new listings? But these questions are not explored. Perhaps the affinity is deliberately downplayed. The invitation to submit entries for the 1983 awards warned ‘that the judges would be paying particular attention to efforts in creating an attractive public image rather than to maintaining strict adherence to a particular historic period’. This pragmatic approach remains a hallmark of the Awards; despite occasional dissension within the Panel of Adjudicators, the Awards have not sought to be a purist architectural composition. Nevertheless this is a worthy record of an enterprise that must have greatly exceeded its founders’ hopes.

ABSTRACT Initially conceived as a contribution to a conference which was to have been based in Caithness and was to have included a visit to Orkney, this paper examines the scientific and technological background to some of the wartime remains associated with the defence of Scapa Flow, the Royal Navy’s principal fleet anchorage in home waters in World Wars I and II. Summarising the surviving evidence of selected aspects of vessel-related, marine and aerial science and engineering around Scapa Flow, it is prefaced by a short account of Tom Rolt’s own wartime career, and concludes with a comparative appreciation of his place in the pantheon of literary engineers.

ABSTRACT In what appears to be the divulging of trade secrets to a potential rival, a Coalbrookdale Company employee provided the lessors of the Staveley furnace in Derbyshire with an account of blast furnace practice. A hurried draft by Charles Hornblower lists in considerable detail the raw materials and their proportions for charging the furnace, transport and labour costs, and advice about building the furnace hearth. Further analysis of the note provides contemporary information about the preparation of the raw materials, their composition and quality of iron produced.

ABSTRACT At the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861, the Union greatly outpaced the Confederacy in industrial manufacturing capabilities. The Confederacy's economy prior to the conflict was largely based on agriculture, and the Southern states lacked the facilities and skilled labourers to produce iron on the scale necessary to compete with the Union. The possibility of importing products was greatly diminished when President Lincoln instituted a naval blockade around major Southern ports, limiting the amount of cargo that could be imported from Europe. Consequently, the Confederacy was forced to adapt ironworks to wartime purposes. Despite these adaptations, the Confederacy suffered from iron shortages throughout the war. This paper uses the iron ballast found on the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley as a case study for the manufacturing processes, labour relationships and social significance of iron production and usage in the Confederacy.

ABSTRACT An archaeological excavation at Lymm slitting mill in Cheshire was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology North in 2005 as a key component of the Lymm's Life Project, which was financed by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The slitting mill was established in the second quarter of the 18th century, and was one of a group of important iron-working sites in the area that were managed by a local Quaker family. The remains probably represent the best surviving example of a slitting mill in England, and one of a very small number that has been subject to archaeological study and consolidation. The slitting mill had been excavated by a local group between 1968 and 1974, although the site was eventually backfilled before a detailed survey was produced and a full synthesis of the results was never published. This paper discusses the archaeological work undertaken on this important early mechanised iron-working site, and places it in its context of 18th-century slitting mills in north-west England.
