The Friends played a material role in bringing these shows to Birmingham so we all have a vested interest in their success. ‘I Want! I Want!’ shows what artists can do with modern technology and the ideas it stimulates. After the stunning success of ‘Night in the Museum’, the first of the partnership shows, I was delighted to discover that this show, too, is great fun. You can read my own reaction to ‘I Want! I Want!’ in my report on the Friends’ website, fbmt.org.uk, under the tab ‘Reports’. There will be a companion show at Thinktank, opening late in May, thus bringing together BMT’s two premier sites.

  • A Steam Issue-48Pp HWM
    FROM WATER POWER TO WATT THE ENERGY REVOLUTION OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Jim Andrew In the seventeenth century, there were no steam engines, no electricity or vehicle fuel from petrol pumps. Power came from human and animal energy, enhanced by wind and water. Changes in water and steam technology in the late-seventeenth and eighteenth centuries contributed to the Industrial Revolution. © Birmingham Museums Trust Sarehole Mill. One of the two remaining water mills in the Birmingham area. 4 www.historywm.com FROM WATER POWER TO WATT ind power, as now, was limited by variations in the strength of the wind, making water the preferred reliable Wsource of significant power for regular activity. The Romans developed water wheels and used them for a variety of activities but the first definitive survey of water power in England was in the Doomsday Book c.1086. At that time, well over five-thousand mills were identified – most were the Norse design with a vertical shaft and horizontal disc of blades. Water-Wheel Technology Traditional water mills, with vertical wheels on horizontal shafts, were well established by the eighteenth century. Many were underpass designs where the water flowed under a wheel with paddles being pushed round by the flow. Over time, many mills adopted designs which had buckets, filled with water at various levels from quite low to the very top of the wheel. The power was extracted by the falling of the water from its entry point to where it was discharged. There was little systematic study of the efficiency of mill-wheel design in extracting energy from the water before the eighteenth century.

  • Bicentenary Programme Celebrating the Life and Legacy of James Watt
    Bicentenary programme celebrating the life and legacy of James Watt 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of the death of the steam engineer James Watt (1736-1819), one of the most important historic figures connected with Birmingham and the Midlands. Born in Greenock in Scotland in 1736, Watt moved to Birmingham in 1774 to enter into a partnership with the metalware manufacturer Matthew Boulton. The Boulton & Watt steam engine was to become, quite literally, one of the drivers of the Industrial Revolution in Britain and around the world. Although best known for his steam engine work, Watt was a man of many other talents. At the start of his career he worked as both a mathematical instrument maker and a civil engineer. In 1780 he invented the first reliable document copier. He was also a talented chemist who was jointly responsible for proving that water is a compound rather than an element. He was a member of the famous Lunar Portrait of James Watt by Sir Thomas Lawrence, 1812 Society of Birmingham, along with other Photo by Birmingham Museums Trust leading thinkers such as Matthew Boulton, Erasmus Darwin, Joseph Priestley and The 2019 James Watt Bicentenary Josiah Wedgwood. commemorative programme is The Boulton & Watt steam engine business coordinated by the Lunar Society. was highly successful and Watt became a We are delighted to be able to offer wealthy man.

  • Dr Malcolm Dick School/Dept: History and Cultures/ Department of History Project Title: James Watt 2019 Project Summary
    SHAC12 CAL Undergraduate Research Scholarships Scheme 2017 Project Proposal Form Project Proposer/s: Dr Malcolm Dick School/Dept: History and Cultures/ Department of History Project Title: James Watt 2019 Project Summary The School of History and Cultures is running a project on the life, times and significance of the inventor, industrialist and Enlightenment thinker, James Watt (1736-1819), who worked in the Birmingham area with his business partner Matthew Boulton for most of his adult life. The project is linked to the 200th anniversary of Watt’s death in 2019. Though Watt provides the focus, the project moves beyond the celebration of a ‘great man’ to look broadly at his context, impact and legacy. Led by Malcolm Dick, it is intended that the project will form part of History’s contribution to the next Research Evaluation Framework in 2020. The website: www.jameswatt2019.org provides an introduction to activity so far. Much of the work involves activity with heritage organisations including Birmingham Museums Trust (BMT) and the Library of Birmingham (LoB). The research conducted by the successful applicant will also connect to a new Arts Council funded BMT project, ‘Birmingham Manufactures’ http://www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/blog/posts/birmingham-museums-trust-shines-a-spotlight- on-birmingham-manufacturers?category=press-release which is exploring and cataloguing objects to illuminate Birmingham’s industrial history. Hence the research not only contributes to important university research, but also links to widening public knowledge of Watt and his times through the Museum. Two of the important areas on which we lack knowledge are the nature of the workforce which constructed the Boulton and Watt steam engines and the type of work they pursued.
