The richly decorated interior is equally spectacular, with statues by Matthew Noble sitting by Martyn M aka Martyx beneath ornate plaster ceilings.

    Learning outside of the Classroom and the role it plays in enhancing and enriching a broad and balanced curriculum. As you embark on your journey to become a teacher, you will consider learning that takes place in different contexts, whether that be through the outdoors or in another setting, such as a Museum or Gallery. Why learning “Any area beyond the classroom, whether it is a field, a woodland or public park, is a product of its history, outside of its geography and of people.” the Kelly and Cutting (2011) classroom? So when planning a Broad and Balanced Curriculum, that encompasses a plethora of subject areas, as Practitioners we should consider where the learning best takes place. Over the last couple of years, more than ever, we have probably reflected and appreciated the places that are on our doorstep.

Please also add your suggestions to the slides for future reference.

  • Industrial Archaeology
    RESEARCH AGENDA INDUSTRIAL ARCHAEOLOGY by Helen Gomersall This document is one of a series designed to enable our stakeholders and all those affected by our advice and recommendations to understand the basis on which we have taken a particular view in specific cases. It is also a means by which others can check that our recommendations are justifiable in terms of the current understanding of West Yorkshire s Historic Environment, and are being consistently applied. As the document is based upon current information, it is anticipated that future discoveries and reassessments will lead to modifications. If any readers wish to comment on the content, the Advisory Service will be glad to take their views into account when developing further versions. Please contact: The West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service Registry of Deeds Newstead Road tel: 01924 306797 Wakefield, WF1 2DE email: [email protected] Issue 1, June 2005 (Reviewe d: 2009) © West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service, 2005 Industrial Archaeology 1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This paper is intended to give a brief overview of the current state of the publicly-accessible resource available for the study of Industrial Archaeology within West Yorkshire (that portion of the old West Riding which formed a Metropolitan County Council between 1972 and 1986), and to frame suggestions for further lines of directed research in the area. Within this context, the definition of Industrial Archaeology is based on the current practice of the West Yorkshire Archaeology Service Advisory Service. Industrial Archaeology is therefore defined as the study of the physical remains of all aspects of anthropogenic activity for the period 1700-1950, with an emphasis on the development and use of technology and manufacture.
