Book excerpt: For two periods of British history - the first part of the Roman occupation and the Tudor and early Stuart periods - the Weald of south-east England was the most productive iron-producing region in the country. Looking across the tranquil Wealden countryside, it is hard to identify anything that hints at its industrial past. Yet 400 years ago, nearly 100 furnaces and forges roared and hammered there, the smoke from charcoal-making curling up from the surrounding woods and the roads bustling with wagons laden with ore and iron sows. Many British naval campaigns, including the Spanish Armada, the wars against the Dutch and The Seven Years' War, relied on Wealden iron cannon; the pressures of conflict driving forward the development of iron-producing technology. For a time the economy of the whole area was dominated by the production of iron and its raw materials, providing employment, generating prosperity and shaping the landscape irrevocably. Drawing on a wealth of local evidence, this book explores the archaeology and history of an area whose iron industry was of international importance.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical Geography of the Wealden Iron Industry The progress of geographical thought has been a marked feature of the last twenty years, and it has become evident that we greatly need more research to bring together facts which will amplify and test our generaliza tions. The results of the researches are often embodied in papers which are too long to appear as articles in the ordinary scientific journals, and there has been a difficulty in bringing them out in book form. The Geographical Association is therefore indebted to Messrs. Benn Brothers, Limited, for their co-operation in the present effort to issue research monographs from time to time in a series primarily intended for members of the Association and sister Associations, but, we hope, of interest also to a wider public. The publications in this series are to be essentially research monographs, giving the results of new and fresh works of geographical nature. But it is strongly felt that too strict an interpretation of the province of geography would be inappropriate. Both education and research are suffering severely at the present time from the over development of specialization. Against this geography offers its steady protest, for it is on the one hand closely linked with the natural sciences, and on the other hand intertwines its hypotheses with those of the anthropologist and the historian.this interesting phenomenon of the past life of our country, and helps to bring out t the life of the district bespeak for this volume and for the series the sympathetic appreciation of all those who are interested in the progress of geographical thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iron industry was the catalyst for the Industrial Revolution, producing a vital source of iron without which none of the great engineering achievements of the Victorian age would have been possible. This book charts the growth of iron making from the Middle Ages, covering the importation of blast-furnace methods in the fifteenth century, the adoption of coke as a fuel in the eighteenth century, and the invention of mass-produced steel in the nineteenth century. The developing techniques of iron making, all explained in a non-technical style, make a story in their own right, but combined with the experiences of the masters and workmen who laboured at the furnaces and forges, this volume offers a truly comprehensive account of one of the most important industries of recent centuries.
