ABSTRACT The preservation of old industrial buildings implies their treatment as reused elements for the development of the dynamics of today's society, in a second life where their recovery for citizenship implies a social value added to their historical-cultural importance. But this narrative is not complete without considering those intangible aspects that, unfortunately, have been lost over time and shape a memory of absences. This article proposes a reflection on the specific imprint left by the presence of Spanish tobacco factories in the urban landscape. It examines their different dimensions as industrial heritage in relation to the territory, the city, their architectural formalisation and the dynamics of the cigarette-makers as key workers. In this way, the importance of the activity of these factories in the cities in which they were located established a series of tangible and intangible relationships, both in their immediate surroundings and in the whole city.

ABSTRACT This paper concerns aspects of the granite industry in South West England, appropriately the region for the 2019 AIA Conference. It turns aside from spectacular industrial archaeology to address a concern for some of the little things that are so readily forgotten. The subject is parochial but shows how over two centuries a relatively little industry and its little quarries in Cornwall and Devon left a lasting physical legacy in many overlooked ways, throughout the British Isles and beyond. It opens an awareness of the ‘little things’ by discussing the special qualities of granite for civil engineering, monuments that are hidden in plain sight, transient events for erecting huge blocks, problems interpreting machine bases, landscape features and the much-needed designation of heritage granite quarries.

ABSTRACT The Congleton Railway was opened in 1805, traversing the Staffordshire/Cheshire border. Fieldwork carried out on the route in 2018 resulted in the discovery of numerous components of its early cast-iron trackwork, allowing the construction of this short colliery railway to be understood in significantly more depth than has previously been possible. Examples of two types of cast-iron rail, two types of supporting saddle, stone sleepers, track spikes and wagon wheels are described. The Congleton trackwork was based upon that used on the 1801 Penrhyn Quarry Railway, and gives an insight into some of the weaknesses of that design. Documentary research has also been undertaken, which helps to place these artefacts in context. With some notable exceptions, the permanent way utilised on early railways has seen little detailed analysis, yet the importance of recording this artefactual evidence has recently been emphasised in a report for Historic England.

ABSTRACT The cotton-spinning mills developed in Nottinghamshire by George Robinson and his sons in the late 18th century were acknowledged by contemporary writers to be pioneering. Faced with a crisis in their water supply, their early use of steam power was ground-breaking. Furthermore, their impact on the landscape was considerable. From the 1960s, researchers identified surviving earthworks and catalogued aspects of the business. Exploration of the mill water system since 2000 has revealed more detail about their innovative approach to maintaining production with their water-wheels, using a modest stream and a combination of surface water storage and groundwater sources. An HLF-funded project has recently extended the archaeological research at Papplewick with extensive surveying and targeted excavation. A wider socio-economic appraisal of the Robinson mills has also been undertaken. This article discusses some of the outputs of the project.

Historic England has a long-established and enviable reputation for producing high-quality publications on current research in the historic environment in an informative and engaging format. This is exemplified by David Dungworth’s latest volume, which presents a detailed examination of glass manufacturing in England from the medieval period to recent times. David’s renown as a preeminent specialist on historic glass-making is cemented by this impressive book, which is essentially his magnum opus on the subject. It draws together the cutting-edge research he carried out during his 18 years’ tenure as a materials scientist and subsequently Head of Archaeological Conservation and Technology for English Heritage (and latterly Historic England), and whilst the emphasis is drawn from scientific analysis of historical glass, the book provides a carefully balanced combination of documentary, chemical and archaeological evidence. The opening two chapters provide an illuminating explanation of glass, elucidating the range of raw materials used and the evolution of the technology employed. This includes a non-technical explanation of glass-melting furnaces, charting their adaptation and the dramatic changes in design that were demanded in the 17th century to enable a shift from wood to coal as a fuel. The text is illustrated by the conservative use of drawings reproduced from 18thand 19th-century accounts, together with some extracts from historic maps. These give way to a series of graphs depicting the chemical composition of glass-melting crucibles and adhering glass recovered from archaeological excavations, highlighting the value of a detailed examination of crucibles and the scientific analysis of glass and glass-working waste. The chapter concludes with a brief overview of the skilled labour that was essential to the industry, and the key products of its three main branches (tableware, bottles and window glass) are introduced, although without any accompanying images. Having set the scene, the third chapter provides a critical examination of the archaeological evidence for glass manufacturing, with lavish illustrations of waste materials found during excavations. The production waste generated from glass-working can be more informative than that from almost any other historic industry, especially in the light of advances in scientific techniques that have been achieved in recent decades. The combination of archaeological evidence with the application of scientific analysis has, in several instances, provided a greatly enriched understanding of the raw materials and technologies employed in glass manufacture, and this section of the book demonstrates the importance of taking a considered approach to investigating glass-working sites and the benefit of effective dialogue between the various specialists involved in all stages of a project.

ABSTRACT Located at the Bolivian border in the Antofagasta region, Ollagüe saw the emergence of industrialisation and capitalist expansion through sulphur mining activities during the 20th century. This article presents both an historical synthesis and the industrial heritage of Ollagüe to show how the innovations in the sulphur mining technological system go hand in hand with the global economic context of the last century. Archaeological industrial heritage is approached here in terms of continuity and ruptures; in other words, as a constant pendulum movement of technological innovations and production challenges.
