ABSTRACT This article explores the state of conservation and key characteristics of the Turda–Abrud narrow-gauge railway heritage as a basis for discussion in the probable event of its future restoration for tourist purposes. The aim of this research was to create a record of the aesthetic and technical features found on site, to be used for prioritising critical heritage preservation interventions. The study was performed in the context of new-found interest by local authorities and volunteers in restoring this particular railway line, after 20 years of abandonment. Data was gathered between 2016 and 2019, and analysed in order to both emphasise the heritage diversity, and measure present threat levels. Standardised assessment forms were used for railway building data collection. The employed methods and obtained results are detailed in the article.

ABSTRACT The British colonisation of Australia was made possible by its co-option of unfree labour. Unwillingly placed at the leading edge of the colonising wave, the convict provided the labour power and skill through which land was alienated from its original inhabitants, infrastructure created and services rendered. A key feature of this process was the clearance, ‘improvement’ and targeted harvesting of the thickly timbered parts of the colonies. Combining heavy manual labour and skilled craft, timber-getting quickly became a staple task of convicts both in private and public service. This paper examines the deployment of convict labour by the government, focussing predominantly on the former convict probation station of Cascades, on the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania (1842–55). The way in which the administrators achieved punitive and economic aims is examined using the archaeological, historical and architectural record. Documentary and archaeological evidence is used to understand the timber-getting processes, and how penological requirements were incorporated. The paper also examines the timber resources that the convicts were required to extract and convert, shedding more light on the motives and processes of attainment.

ABSTRACT Wenzhou Alum Mine in Fanshan Town, Zhejiang Province (China), operated from the middle of the 14th century to December 2017 and, as an important centre of the Chinese alum industry for more than 600 years, witnessed both change and continuity in the development of alum mining and refining technology. Alum was produced in Wenzhou from the alunite ore mined in the territory, and included quarrying, calcining, weathering and steeping the ore to produce an impure solution, or liquor, of aluminium sulphate and potassium sulphate, which was then boiled at the appropriate temperature to form a concentration of alum. A review of the documentary evidence coupled with an archaeological survey of the mining and refining sites owned by the Wenzhou Alum Mine Company has enabled the site to be redefined as a complex production landscape by paying attention to the evidence for the evolution of technology used for producing alum.

ABSTRACT The proclamation of Rijeka as a free port in 1719, and the construction of the lazaretto (naval quarantine station) of St Charles Borromeo in 1725, initiated the economic and urban development of Rijeka, which grew from a small coastal town into a significant centre of manufacturing and industry. With the lazaretto and the largest factory, a sugar refinery built in 1750, the city’s first manufacturing zone was formed. In the second zone, along the Rječina River, in 1821 a paper mill was built, which in 1833 received the first steam engine, with which the industrialisation of the city began. This article describes the materials and structures of the industrial buildings that characterise this period. In proto-industrial and early industrial times, construction consisted mainly of massive stone and brick walls or masonry-vaulted structures. In the 19th century, buildings begin to adapt to the production processes, which influenced the development of a new architectural typology. The internal structures were made of wood, a readily available and inexpensive material, with which the builders already had extensive experience.

ABSTRACT This paper contributes a case study on the Manchester Methodology — a tool for studying the process of industrialisation — focusing on the Derwent Valley in the North East of England and discussing the social structure relevant for industrialisation. In this case study the social structure has been moved from a top-down hierarchy of ownership to a bottom-up concept of social benefit, thereby reflecting the improvement of the condition of the working masses during industrialisation. The paper also reflects on the use of quantitative data within the Manchester Methodology rather than the qualitative data originally employed. This approach has produced a clearer picture of the relative dominance of some industries over others which may not be evident from the qualitative method alone, and demonstrates how this can be used to create a refined model of the industrial landscape.
