Newsletter 86 Autumn 2012 NEWSLETTER 86 AUTUMN 2012 EDITORIAL Welcome to the Autumn Newsletter and the start of a new lecture season. Details of the programme are included with the Newsletter and can also be found on the Section pages on the YAHS website. I hope you managed to have some dry and sunny days over this rather disappointing summer. I spent three days at the AIA conference in Chelmsford and it was good to catch up with old friends having missed the previous two conferences. I will be producing a report for the next Newsletter but just to add now that the three days of trips were very good with a surprising amount to see in rural Essex and just over the border into Suffolk. I can report on a number of activities that have taken place over the summer in South Yorkshire; the archaeological team of Arc Heritage completed their archaeological investigations at Rockley Furnace and Engine House and presented their findings to a well attended launch of the report at Wentworth Castle, Stainborough on 17 May. An appropriate venue as the Rockley site was originally part of the Wentworth Estate prior to being purchased by the South Yorkshire Industrial History Society. A few days earlier there had been a similar launch event for the Arc Heritage report on their archaeological survey of the line of the Silkstone Waggonway – an early tramway taking coal from local pits in the Silkstone area to the Barnsley Canal basin at Barnby. Several previously undiscovered stone sleeper blocks and branch lines were discovered. Both investigations were funded by the Industrial Heritage programme of the East Peak Innovation Partnership (EPIP). The renovation of the roof of the nail forge in the village of Hoylandswaine has also been completed thanks to a grant from the AIA and EPIP, the latter also funded the production of interpretation boards and a small illustrated guidebook describing nail making in the village (see News item later). EPIP also funded a water management survey at Wortley Top Forge investigating the condition of the weir, goit and mill pond - the source of power for the three waterwheels. A bid has now been successful to fund an investigation at the site of a tin mill associated with Wortley Forge which was built in 1743 and demolished in 1887. The benefits of the funding available from EPIP have been extremely worthwhile and it is good news that the funding for the EPIP Industrial Heritage programme from English Heritage has recently been extended to November 2013, so it is hoped that further projects can be achieved. (see item below for details of another EPIP project this time in West Yorkshire) As usual included with the Newsletter are the minutes of the 2012 AGM. If any member has any corrections to the minutes please let me know – contact details are given at the end of the Newsletter. The News Item section includes details of two articles published by section member Trevor Lyons. Thanks to Trevor for sending me these. I am always pleased to receive and publicise details from members about anything they have published with an industrial history theme. A reminder that if members wish to report on any research they are carrying out, I am happy to give details in the Newsletter. Later in the newsletter there is an interesting article from David George describing his experiences over the years in publishing local history. Over the past few months progress with the industrial history database has been slow due to members of the group being on holiday or finding it difficult to get everyone together at Claremont. To move things along, a couple of meetings have been arranged mid week in September to test the guidelines and to start adding information to the database. An update will be given to members at the first lecture on 20 October. A welcome to new members who have joined since the last newsletter: Ms L Brown, Miss P Ford, Mr O Jessop and Mr K Milne. If you have friends or relatives interested in joining the Section membership forms are available from Claremont or on the website at: www.industrialhistory.yas.org.uk/content/membership I shall be producing the next Newsletter in early January 2013, so please let me have any news items, reports etc. by the end of December. I hope to see you at the first lecture on 20 October. Margaret Tylee NEWS FROM CLAREMONT Unfortunately due to being indisposed I was unable to attend the AGM of the main Society held on Saturday 30 June but I can report that I was re-elected to the Management Board in my absence and am continuing as the Publicity Officer. If any members have points to raise with the Management Board please let me know. The meeting approved the appointment of two new patrons – Sebastian Fattorini and Sir Ian Kershaw and Freda Matthews was awarded Life Membership of the Society in recognition of her continued hard work over many years on behalf of the Society. Once again the Income and Expenditure Account for the year showed an overall loss, this time of just over £101,000; although expenditure was lower than the previous year, the income fell by a greater amount, partly due to a drop in subscription revenue and also from investment income. Maintaining Claremont is a significant cost to the Society, repairs over the past few years have improved conditions but another recent theft of lead from the roof means more expense. Copies of the Society’s Annual Report were sent to main Society members, if Section only members wish to have a copy, please contact Claremont. Main Society members will have received an appeal from the President, Sylvia Thomas, for help in addressing the Society’s financial position. Specifically, we looking for any member with business experience whose financial advice could assist in ways to re-balance the books. We are also looking for members who have experience of fund raising and have ideas on how we can improve our income stream. If you think you can help in any way please contact Sylvia at Claremont. It is hoped that the 150th celebration due in 2013 will help raise the profile of the Society, increase membership and inspire benefactors to make donations and leave bequests. Unfortunately, in spite of an enormous amount of hard work by Kirsty McHugh, the bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund to enable the Society to employ an Audience Engagement Officer to work on the 150th celebrations and to develop outreach and education programmes for the Society to reach a wider audience was unsuccessful. This means that the work on planning and delivering events for next year will fall to a small team of volunteers and will have to be less extensive than was first envisaged. However there are still plenty of events in the programme, initial details are available in the latest YAHS Diary of 2012- 13 activities; full details will follow at the end of the year. The Section will be having a guided walk in Leeds on Sunday 12 May 2013 (not Saturday 11 May as listed in the Diary). OTHER NEWS ITEMS Arc Heritage, the trading name of the York Archaeological Trust, has completed an archaeological survey of Farnley Mill at Farnley Tyas near Huddersfield (GR SE 17661288). The survey was commissioned by the East Peak Innovation Partnership (EPIP) and consisted of desk based research and a survey of the features relating to the 18th century mill and associated cottages. The project also provided volunteer and training opportunities for the Huddersfield & District Archaeological Society. The mill was built as a fulling and scribbling mill in 1794 worked by a steam engine. By the mid 19th century it was used for the manufacture of fancy woollens but by 1886 the business had closed and the machinery and stock were sold and the site abandoned. The survey has revealed that significant remains survive, including standing walls, the wheel pit and setting for the steam engine, the gas holder base associated with a short lived gas works and features of the water management system. For more details on the project and other projects funded by the EPIP Industrial Heritage Programme see www.epip.org.uk and follow the links to Industrial Heritage programme funded projects. English Heritage has launched a new website making over 15,000 images available from the historic Aerofilms Collection taken between 1919 and 1953. The collection was acquired by English Heritage in 2007 and work has continued since then to restore and conserve the fragile glass negatives and make them digitally available. Industrial and urban landscapes are well represented and by registering, images can be downloaded and additional information about the image added. There are also a number of mystery locations that the digital team have so far been unable to identify, so offers of help are required. For more information and to view the site, go to www.britainfromabove.org.uk. Members who attended the section walk around Wakefield in May 2010 may recall the dreadful condition of the historic grade II listed Wakefield Kirkgate Station. It has been called one of the worst railway stations in Britain. The good news is that at last work is under way to repair the station. The station, dating from 1854, originally had a roof spanning the station, this was removed in the 1970s, but part of the canopy was left to rust away. This will not be repaired due to cost but work will concentrate on the main station buildings. The entrance lobby and subway have been refurbished and there are plans to improve passenger areas with ticket sales, a cafe and exhibition area.

    OPUS DISTRIBUTION OPUS OPUS DISTRIBUTION OPUS DISTRIBUTION OPUS OPUS DISTRIBUTION WHY CHOOSE OPUS DISTRIBUTION? Opus Distribution is a social enterprise which provides unique distribution opportunities exclusively to independent traders, community groups, arts organisations, charities and local government. We distribute print to over 4,000 locations in Sheffield, North Derbyshire, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Chesterfield and Rotherham. Opus Distribution firmly believes in the values of transparency, dedication and customer service. We do our best to give you the maximum amount of information about your print, from the point that we place it in the public sphere to the point that it is no longer in date and in need of recycling. We consider it an essential part of our service that for work completed in Sheffield and North Derbyshire we are able to recycle a client’s print once it goes out of date. The added benefit of this is that we can estimate how much print has been picked up by the public and in which areas it was best received. This allows you a great deal of feedback on which to base your next print distribution campaign. After completing each distribution run, we send our clients a detailed report of which locations have received their print and in what quantities. This helps you to track your print as time progresses. WHO DO WE SERVE? We work exclusively with local traders, community groups, local government, arts organisations, independent promoters and charities, creating and sustaining strong networks and shared ideologies of independent trading. Opus Distribution, like many other organisations in Britain today, is a firm believer in keeping our local economy strong enough to fulfil the needs of the community.
