  • The Hay Inclined Plane in Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England): Geometric Modeling and Virtual Reconstruction
    S S symmetry Article The Hay Inclined Plane in Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England): Geometric Modeling and Virtual Reconstruction José Ignacio Rojas-Sola 1,* and Eduardo De la Morena-De la Fuente 2 1 Department of Engineering Graphics, Design and Projects, University of Jaén, Campus de las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén, Spain 2 Research Group ‘Engineering Graphics and Industrial Archaeology’, University of Jaén, Campus de las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-953-212452 Received: 9 April 2019; Accepted: 22 April 2019; Published: 24 April 2019 Abstract: This article shows the geometric modeling and virtual reconstruction of the inclined plane of Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England) that was in operation from 1792 to 1894. This historical invention, work of the Englishman William Reynolds, allowed the transportation of boats through channels located at different levels. Autodesk Inventor Professional software has been used to obtain the 3D CAD model of this historical invention and its geometric documentation. The material for the research is available on the website of the Betancourt Project of the Canary Orotava Foundation for the History of Science. Also, because the single sheet does not have a scale, it has been necessary to adopt a graphic scale so that the dimensions of the different elements are coherent. Furthermore, it has been necessary to establish some dimensional, geometric, and movement restrictions (degrees of freedom) so that the set will work properly. One of the main conclusions is that William Reynolds designed a mechanism seeking a longitudinal symmetry so that, from a single continuous movement, the mechanism allows two vessels to ascend and descend simultaneously.

  • The Darby Stove Was Originally Offered with Two Boiler Options
    WARNING This information is a copy of an original archive, therefore Aga cannot be held responsible for its continued accuracy. Coalbrookdale DARBY Stove with boiler Additional Information The Darby stove was originally offered with two boiler options. The Intermediate Boiler model had a heat exchanger attached to the rear of the standard firebox used on the Non-boiler models. It had an approximate output of 5.8 kW/h to water, + 10.2 kW/h to room. Control was by manually operated air spinwheels. The High-Output boiler model had a re-designed firebox/boiler assembly with approximate outputs of 12.3 kW/h to water + 8.2 kW/h to room. Control was by an automatic water temperature sensing thermostat, the air spinwheels in this case being fixed.

  • Broseley in Shropshire 1600-1820
    INDUSTRIALISATION AND AN EARLY MODERN TOWN: BROSELEY IN SHROPSHIRE 1600-1820 by STEPHEN CHARLES HUDSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Culture College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham June 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This work is the first attempt to analyse, assess and evaluate the broad process of industrialisation in Broseley, Shropshire between 1600 and c.1820. The thesis is a study of historical processes of growth, development and, ultimately the beginning of decline of a small industrial urban settlement above the Severn Gorge on the southern margins of the east Shropshire coalfield. These historical processes, socio-economic in character, are shown to interact and produce an early industrial town, possessing certain characteristics, features and traditions, unusual if not unique in a settlement of this nature. A variety of source material – primary documentary, archaeological/field and secondary – is used to examine the origins and growth of three groups of industries - mining, iron and ceramics - and the social fabric and stratification that were both the cause and consequence of their development.

SHROPSHIRE COUNTY LIBRARY 1968 PRINTED BY ADVERTISER PRINTING WORKS, NEWPORT, SHROPSHIRE CONTENTS Page PREFACE PART I Catalogue of mines Broseley area Oakengates area 11 Madeley area 14 Dawley area 15 Lawley area 18 PART II Mining bibliography 21 PART III List of preserved mining antiquities 28 FOREWORD Compared with the nineteenth century, little is published nowadays on the history of Shropshire. There is as great an interest—possibly a greater one—in matters concerning the past, but not many people can find the time to record the knowledge they have gathered. It gives me great pleasure, therefore, to sponsor this pamphlet on an aspect of Shropshire’s industrial history, which sets out information not readily available in print. If it is well received, the County Library Sub-Committee may be encouraged to publish work of a similar nature as opportunity arises. C. F. CORDINGLEY Chairman, Shropshire County Library Sub-Committee PREFACE This catalogue contains the names, situation, minerals worked and approximate dates of working, where known, of nearly 550 mines in the Coalbrookdale Coalfield. The list is by no means complete but includes only those mines of which the compiler has some information. It is quite possible that a complete list would have twice or even three times the number of mines given.

In accordance with the Pollution Prevention Control (PPC) Regulations the Coalbrookdale Foundry site, (the site), owned and operated by Aga Rayburn is obliged to apply for a permit to operate a Part A1 installation for the smelting of iron. The permit application requires the provision of a Phase 1a site condition report describing the condition of the site.
