  • Newsletter 90 Spring 2014
    NEWSLETTER 90 SPRING 2014 EDITORIAL We have reached the 90th Newsletter and another new year. I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year and didn’t get blown away or flooded! By the time you read this we will be over halfway through our Lecture Programme and we have already had some varied topics – all of interest. Ideas are welcome for the 2014/15 season so if you have any suggestions please contact Jane Ellis (details at the end of the Newsletter). Please note that we have added a new event to this year’s programme – a visit to Sunny Bank Mills in Farsley, organised by section member Graham Collett, on 17 May. Details of the visit are given on the accompanying information sheet / booking form. Do contact Graham as soon as you can to book your place. I am also trying to arrange a visit to the Monckton Coke Works near Barnsley as a follow-up to the talk given at the September day school at the National Mining Museum. If this visit goes ahead it is likely to be in the summer so details will be included in the next Newsletter. The 150th anniversary year of the main Society has come to an end and I hope you managed to join one of the events. Attendance at the events varied, with some proving very popular but others having to be cancelled due to low interest, or in the case of the visit to Barnsley Experience, no interest. The YAHS Collections book which was produced highlighting the range of material in the library and archives was very well received and copies are still available at Claremont at the reasonable price of £5.

  • IL Combo Ndx V2
    file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

  • In Our Own Words by Bryony Griffith Contents
    Exploring Coal Mining with Folk Song In Our Own Words Written by Bryony Griffith In partnership with the National Coal Mining Museum for England and Wakefield Music Education Hub Unlocking hidden treasures of England’s cultural heritage Explore | Discover | Take Part The Full English Extra The Full English Extra was an initiative to preserve and promote the folk arts, building on the success of EFDSS’ flagship project The Full English, which created the world’s largest digital archive of folk songs, dances, tunes and customs, and a nationwide learning programme that reached more than 16,000 people. The project was led by the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS), funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Full English Extra saw the collections of Mary Neal, suffragette, radical arts practitioner and founder of the Esperance Girls Club, and folk dance educator Daisy Caroline Daking added to the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library online archive (www.vwml.org), alongside its collection of 19th century broadside ballads and songsters. The Full English learning programme worked with three national museums – the Museum of English Rural Life at the University of Reading, the National Coal Mining Museum for England near Wakefield in West Yorkshire and the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London – combining folk arts and museum education to provide powerful new learning experiences for schools and music hubs. Supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund.

  • Newsletter July 2008
    Newsletter July 2008 Editor’s Letter As usual I must start with apologies for the later appearance of this newsletter and thank Don Borthwick for his significant contribution to its contents. Over the last six months I have been constrained by the amount of time required to wrap up a project planned to be completed by the end of January. Unforeseen events, the discovery of a hitherto unknown Roman fort at Calstock in the Tamar Valley during investigation of a potential medieval lead/silver smelting site, led to an extension to the completion date and a distinct rise in the level of interest in the work of the project. Don has provided most of the newsletter content but it has taken until now for me to assemble it for publication. NEW SECRETARY FOR NAMHO In March we held a NAMHO council meeting at the Williamston Tunnels in Liverpool and in the course of that meeting recruited Nigel Dibben as a much needed successor to Sallie Bassham as Secretary to the association. Should you need to contact the officers please do so through Nigel at the postal address below (or by e-mail at [email protected]). NEPTUNE SAVES HISTORIC MINE This was the headline in the Devon and Cornwall News published by the National Trust (England and Wales) and refers to their purchase of a section of cliff-top land on the south Cornwall coast, including Wheal Trewavas, using funds raised under the Neptune Coastline Campaign. The engine houses at Wheal Trewavas will be conserved and continued access to the surface features is ensured.

It was named after the South Yorkshire village where the coal deposits were found near to the surface. Visit the sites of early mines dating back to the early 1800s and find out about the primitive methods of extraction using day- holes and drift mines. This walk follows in the footsteps of coal along the Silkstone Waggonway which was constructed to take loads of coal from the small-scale mining operations scattered across the countryside to the nearest canal basin for onwards transportation to the towns and cities where demand was growing.

  • 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.

'VOICES OF FRICKLEY': THE STRUGGLES OF THE MINERS AT A YORKSHIRE COLLIERY, 1984-1993 James Edwin Nightingale Submitted for the degree of PhD, the University of Sheffield, Department of History, October 1997. - ., 'VOICES OF FRICKLEY': THE STRUGGLES OF THE MINERS AT A YORKSHIRE COLLIERY, 1984-1993 James Edwin Nightingale In this study the author focuses on the actIvItles of the National Uniol1" of Mineworkers at Frickley Colliery during ten years of industrial conflict prior to the - pit's closure in November 1993. While the initial part of this period, the 1984-85 miners' strike, has been well documented by scholars, the conflict in the following years has received scant attention. Following the miners' defeat, the NUM members at Frickley played an important part in sustaining the tradition of niilitant trade unionism in the Yorkshire coalfield at a time of general retreat for the British labour movement. Other studies have concentrated mainly on the activities of union leaders and management figures when chronicling the confrontation in the coalfields."In contrast, a substantial part of the present author's account is based on the oral testimonies of pit level activists, thus aspects of the conflict that have been otherwise ignored or overlooked are brought to light. At the core of the study is the contention that the labour movement had become disabled by the defeatist notion of 'new realism'. Moreover, it is illustrated how the NUM leadership in Yorkshire, conventionally portrayed as being militant, was often instrumental in suffocating the resistance of the NUM rank and file as they challenged the authoritarian working practices being imposed by the management of the industry .
