  • Newsletter No. 74 Autumn 2008 Editorial
    NEWSLETTER NO. 74 AUTUMN 2008 EDITORIAL Welcome to the latest Newsletter; I hope you have had an enjoyable summer in spite of the dreadful weather, Due to a clash of dates I was unable to attend this year’s AIA Conference which was held in Wiltshire and I look forward to reading the report which will appear in Industrial Archaeology News. I am also looking forward to the forthcoming 2008-2009 Lecture Programme; full details are given on the separate sheet, meeting as usual on Saturday mornings at Claremont. In the past the Section has considered whether midweek evening meetings or Saturday afternoons would attract more members to join and attend but the general view from those who have expressed it, is that Saturday mornings are preferred. However please note that the 2009 AGM will be starting earlier at 10.30am. This is because we will have another local walk in the afternoon starting at 2pm and starting the AGM half an hour earlier gives a little more time for members’ contributions and lunch. I am sure that you will agree with me that our Lecture Secretary, Jane Ellis, has yet again organised an interesting and varied programme and I hope many of you will be able to attend at least a few lectures during the season. Robert Vickers will also lead a walk around Huddersfield on Sunday 10 May 2009, meeting at the Railway Station at 11am with a pub lunch. Let’s hope there is better weather for this than his walk around Bradford, which is reported on later in the Newsletter.

  • The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town Cl740-Cl820
    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume One THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SHEFFIELD AND THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN cl740-c 1820 Neville Flavell February 1996 SUMMARY In the early eighteenth century Sheffield was a modest industrial town with an established reputation for cutlery and hardware. It was, however, far inland, off the main highway network and twenty miles from the nearest navigation. One might say that with those disadvantages its future looked distinctly unpromising. A century later, Sheffield was a maker of plated goods and silverware of international repute, was en route to world supremacy in steel, and had already become the world's greatest producer of cutlery and edge tools. How did it happen? Internal economies of scale vastly outweighed deficiencies. Skills, innovations and discoveries, entrepreneurs, investment, key local resources (water power, coal, wood and iron), and a rapidly growing labour force swelled largely by immigrants from the region were paramount. Each of these, together with external credit, improved transport and ever-widening markets, played a significant part in the town's metamorphosis. Economic and population growth were accompanied by a series of urban developments which first pushed outward the existing boundaries. Considerable infill of gardens and orchards followed, with further peripheral expansion overspilling into adjacent townships. New industrial, commercial and civic building, most of it within the central area, reinforced this second phase. A period of retrenchment coincided with the French and Napoleonic wars, before a renewed surge of construction restored the impetus.

Clusters are regarded as exciting, vibrant places where “something in the air” draws together world-class talent and delivers fresh products and innovations to the marketplace. They contribute disproportionately to economic growth and helping to create high-skill jobs that are part of the UK’s thriving knowledge economy. Such clusters cannot be created by design. Their origins are largely accidental, and they often evolve to fill market niches that are difficult for governments to anticipate. Typically, their strength lies in the physical co-location and interplay of talented individuals, nimble small businesses, heavyweight corporations, world-class academic centres, willing investors, appropriate infrastructure and supportive local and national government agencies. As they grow, these delicate ecosystems invariably face challenges – for instance, talent shortages and patchy infrastructure.
