Download or read book The Industrial Heritage written by Judith Alfrey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Industrial Heritage is the first integrated approach to the assessment, conservation, interpretation, financing and management of the complex heritage of industrial cultures. It breaks new ground, as the authors (both active workers in the field) suggest that concepts of heritage defined to deal with pre-industrial cultures must be modified to deal with the very different demands presented by industrial objects and the societies which produced them. The essence of this book is practicality, offering examples of the real issues which confront those concerned with preserving and managing the industrial heritage.
Download or read book Aspects of Leicester written by John Hinks and published by . This book was released on 2000-10-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects of Leicester 1 is the first Wharncliffe title to appear in the East Midlands. However in Yorkshire and Lancashire, our publications have gathered a devoted following and after only ten years of publication, earlier titles are already sought after collectors items In Aspects of Leicester 1, John Hinks, has drawn together twelve fascinating views of the city's history. From Medieval Alms House origins, we visit The Hospital of the Holy Trinity and nearby Newarke Houses, now a museum but which once housed a colourful assortment of people. Among the personalities who contributed to Leicester's history we meet, John Throsby, historian and engraver, Thomas Cooper, Chartist leader and publisher, Sir Jonathan North, Manufacturer, Politician and Philanthropist, plus a number of Local Businesswomen who controlled Leicester enterprises between the 16th and the late 19th centuries. We witness the Defence of Ladysmith by the Leicestershire Regiment in 'Caged Tigers', while closer to home we learn of the 19th Century Knitting Industry and the numerous trades surrounding the horse in 19th century Leicester, 'Respectability and Economy' introduces the funeral customs of Leicester folk in the early 20th century. Literary life in the city is not forgotten, with 'Larkin About', and the story of the development of libraries from medieval chained libraries to the present day free access service. Aspects of Leicester provides a totally new approach to local history which will prove equally valuable to the dedicated researcher and the armchair historian. Key Selling Points * No similar publication available. * New and fascinating slants on the history of Leicester. * Contributions from well known and new local authors. * Development of well respected series. About the editor John Hinks retired from the post of County Librarian of Leicestershire in 1997, since when he has been researching the history of the book trade in Leicester while filling a part-time lecturing post at Loughborough University.

Download or read book Industrial Archaeology written by Marilyn Palmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Archaeology uses the techniques of mainstream archaeological excavation, analysis and interpretation to present an enlightening picture of industrial society. Technology and heritage have, until recently, been the focal points of study in industrialization. Industrial Archaeology sets out a coherent methodology for the discipline which expands on and extends beyond the purely functional analysis of industrial landscapes, structures and artefacts to a broader consideration of their cultural meaning and value. The authors examine, for example, the social context of industrialization, including the effect of new means of production on working patterns, diet and health.
