The Good News Currently we are lobbying on national and local maritime issues. Last year we started a petition to support ‘Kathleen & May’. She is still in the UK, and recently visited Bideford much to the delight of North Devon folk. She remains, run by a Trust, in a berth adjacent to the Maritime Museum in Liverpool. Deputy Chair Jonathan Seagrave has this year led on issues regarding fuel for historic vessels such as ‘Shieldhall’. Your Society has responded as a ‘stakeholder’ to the new National Historic Ships consultation, and recently I have been involved in the launch of the Plymouth area Maritime Focus Group, which contains 20 plus organisations. We aim to promote all aspects of the local maritime community and will press for a large ‘maritime footprint’ in the new Plymouth History Centre, due to be completed in time for ‘Mayflower 400’ in 2020. Our publications, thanks to the sterling work of editor, and founder member, David Clement, now include colour illustrations and bumper annual Journals. A new monograph is planned for issue free to members in 2015. We have recently launched SWMHS on ‘Facebook’ and ‘Twitter’, overseen by Sarah Parsons, now at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth. We are solvent and our bank balance is healthy. 4 The Bad News Attendance at meetings is now only moderate, sometimes under 10, from our own membership, but countered by holding joint events with like minded groups. Perhaps age, fuel costs and family commitments make it difficult for members to attend all day events? The Society is held in much esteem worldwide BUT..... This year we have lost our Secretary Peter Sims who has had to resign due to ill health. We are very grateful for his contributions over the years. Jonathan Seagrave has been unwell recently. A few weeks ago our web-master Dave Hills sadly died from cancer. Your Society was represented by two former Chairmen, David Clement, Dale Thomas and by myself. Dave Hills’ work in designing & building our web-site and in running it was immense. The committee will miss his friendly, quiet leadership in this aspect of our Society’s work. He was a true gentleman. A new site has been built, commercially at some cost, but we need volunteers to edit new content and to respond to queries on the Forum once it becomes operational. For over a year we have had immense problems with banking at RBS. We would like to have a press/PR person too. We are delighted to welcome Paul Wright, recently retired from lead at the Navigation Department of Plymouth University, as link with the Plymouth District Maritime Forum , and Ray Fordham to guest edit the next Soundings, but we desperately need more new blood. We are solvent, but cannot routinely pay for basic admin tasks. We are pretty clear we can’t continue in quite the same way. Without more volunteers, your Society will have to cut back on activities, or even amalgamate with another, in order to survive as a future active force in the maritime research and heritage field. We badly need your feedback and input. 5 We invite members to consider what we should do in order to see if we can move forward again into our fourth decade. We will be putting together serious proposals for the AGM, and committing half the day then to working on these. The following are just some of the topics we will need to discuss and make formal recommendations to the AGM. Do send comments to me, in good time, if you can’t make the AGM date. ( June 6th) Some Questions What do you value most about what we do as a Society? (Meetings/ MSW/ SWS/ Advocacy) What things could we drop ? Do you read news, webery? Reviews? Meeting reports? Should some meetings be shorter evening meetings for a local area ? Should there be a combined publication, SWS +MSW twice a year, with somewhat reduced content ? Should we continue to produce monographs? On what charging basis? Looking ahead, it would be possible to divide up the work involved in preparing Soundings and Maritime South West, and maybe change the frequency of appearance to reflect the limited editorial resource we have, and ensure continuity in the event of illness etc.

  • Lime Kilns in Worcestershire
    Lime Kilns in Worcestershire Nils Wilkes Acknowledgements I first began this project in September 2012 having noticed a number of limekilns annotated on the Ordnance Survey County Series First Edition maps whilst carrying out another project for the Historic Environment Record department (HER). That there had been limekilns right across Worcestershire was not something I was aware of, particularly as the county is not regarded to be a limestone region. When I came to look for books or documents relating specifically to limeburning in Worcestershire, there were none, and this intrigued me. So, in short, this document is the result of my endeavours to gather together both documentary and physical evidence of a long forgotten industry in Worcestershire. In the course of this research I have received the help of many kind people. Firstly I wish to thank staff at the Historic Environmental Record department of the Archive and Archaeological Service for their patience and assistance in helping me develop the Limekiln Database, in particular Emma Hancox, Maggi Noke and Olly Russell. I am extremely grateful to Francesca Llewellyn for her information on Stourport and Astley; Simon Wilkinson for notes on Upton-upon-Severn; Gordon Sawyer for his enthusiasm in locating sites in Strensham; David Viner (Canal and Rivers Trust) in accessing records at Ellesmere Port; Bill Lambert (Worcester and Birmingham Canal Trust) for involving me with the Tardebigge Limekilns Project; Pat Hughes for her knowledge of the lime trade in Worcester and Valerie Goodbury

  • Lime Burning in Westmorland
    Victoria County History of Cumbria Project: Interim Draft [Note: This is an interim draft and should not be cited without first consulting the VCH Cumbria project: for contact details, see http://www.cumbriacountyhistory.org.uk/] Author: David Johnson LIME BURNING IN WESTMORLAND INTRODUCTION Lime has been produced in Britain since at least Roman times, though there appear to be some hints of its use prior to that.1 The burning of lime in the medieval era has been attested by archaeological excavation of a sow, or clamp, kiln on the southern flanks of Ingleborough, radiocarbon dated to the twelfth or thirteenth century, and of a similar sow kiln in the Forest of Bowland radiocarbon dated to the thirteenth century. In both cases, given that the sites in question were in very remote agricultural locations, the lime was probably destined for use on the land.2 No such evidence has been recorded for Westmorland but it goes without saying that every stone-built structure – church, monastery, bridge, manorial hall or baronial castle – would have needed lime in medieval times and it was common practice to construct a simple kiln at the place where lime mortar was needed. Indeed, this would also have applied in the pre-Conquest era. Kilns prior to the very late seventeenth century were not the masonry-fronted kilns surviving 1 Strabo (d. AD 23) wrote of tribesmen in what is now north-east Wales coating their hair with limewash and drawing it back thickened with lime so that it differed ‘in no way from a horse’s mane’ (I.

  • Characterization and Utilization of Cement Kiln Dusts (Ckds) As Partial Replacements of Portland Cement
    Characterization and Utilization of Cement Kiln Dusts (CKDs) as Partial Replacements of Portland Cement by Om Shervan Khanna A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Om Shervan Khanna (2009) Characterization and Utilization of Cement Kiln Dusts (CKDs) as Partial Replacements of Portland Cement Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Om Shervan Khanna Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto Abstract The characteristics of cement kiln dusts (CKDs) and their effects as partial replacement of Portland Cement (PC) were studied in this research program. The cement industry is currently under pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and solid by- products in the form of CKDs. The use of CKDs in concrete has the potential to substantially reduce the environmental impact of their disposal and create significant cost and energy savings to the cement industry. Studies have shown that CKDs can be used as a partial substitute of PC in a range of 5 – 15%, by mass. Although the use of CKDs is promising, there is very little understanding of their effects in CKD-PC blends. Previous studies provide variable and often conflicting results. The reasons for the inconsistent results are not obvious due to a lack of material characterization data. The characteristics of a CKD must be well-defined in order to understand its potential impact in concrete. The materials used in this study were two different types of PC (normal and moderate sulfate resistant) and seven CKDs. The CKDs used in this study were selected to provide a representation of those available in North America from the three major types of cement manufacturing processes: wet, long-dry, and preheater/precalciner.

  • A Case Study in Lime Production ~ Sri Lanka Practical Action
    A CASE STUDY IN LIME PRODUCTION TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES IN SRI LANKA There is a long history of production and use of lime in Sri Lanka. Its main use has been as a cementing agent and as a decorative whitewash in the building industry. In recent years the demand for lime has increased. It is now also used for water treatment, in the sugar industry, for agricultural purposes and in other miscellaneous applications such as road stabilisation. However, traditional methods of lime production are still very much in evidence and few attempts have been made to improve upon these methods, for example by improving the kiln design. Coral and shell deposits, the raw materials traditionally used for lime production, are mainly confined to the south-western and southern coastal belts of the island. In the central hill country lime is also produced by making use of dolomite deposits. Dolomite is a type of limestone containing a proportion of magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) as well Figure 1: A traditional kiln. as calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Photo credit: Practical Action The demand for lime in Sri Lanka is mainly in the urban areas. Very large quantities of lime are transported to Colombo, the largest city, daily. This case study illustrates the traditional techniques adopted for the production of lime hydrate in Sri Lanka and compares the methods used with dolomite and coral as the raw materials. The present state of the lime industry has been studied by a number of organisations including Intermediate Technology Development Group, Industrial Development Board, Ceramic Research and Development Centre and Institute for Construction Training and Development.
