Falkirk Building Warrants Finding Falkirk Archives (Archon Code: GB558) FALKIRK ARCHIVES Local authority records Falkirk Town Council Finding Aid (7) The finding aid for the records of Falkirk Town Council has been divided into 11 parts. This part contains the records of the Dean of Guild Court. Falkirk Town Council Finding Aid Minutes Part 1 Council and Committee minutes Town Clerk Part 2 Correspondence, legislation, legal papers, development, war regulations, miscellaneous Statutory registers Electoral rolls Burgh Chamberlain Part 3 Valuation and assessment rolls Burgh Engineer Part 4 Burgh Surveyor Part 5 Sanitary Inspector Part 6 Dean of Guild Court Part 7 Parks & Cemeteries Department Part 8 Housing Department Part 9 Falkirk Corporation Redeemable Stock Part 10 Falkirk Gas Commissioners Part 11 Falkirk Dean of Guild Court The origins of the Dean of Guild Court were in the medieval Royal Burghs. Their powers to hear offences against neighbourliness gradually evolved into modern planning and building control regulations. From 1862 Town Councils were permitted to set up Dean of Guild Courts and from 1892 all town councils were required to set up Dean of Guild Courts. The Dean of Guild Courts had powers to impose conditions relating to public health under the 1862 Police Act. Access arrangements. These records are held in an off-site store and three days advance notice is required for access. Under The Building (Procedure) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009, access to plans of buildings where there are security issues is limited to owners, tenants, occupiers or prospective tenants. Copying of plans normally requires the permission of the owner. The Registers are held in Callendar House and are accessible to researchers on request. The plans for minor and major warrants are currently only partly catalogued but are available for research. If a plan is not listed here then researchers can search of the Registers to find the original building warrant number which can then be used to search the uncatalogued plans. However, there is no guarantee that a plan listed in the Registers will still exist. Most of the plans are held in Accession No A997 which was transferred from Falkirk District Council Building Control in 1998. The reference number for each plan in this accession is based on the original building warrant number with the prefix A997. The earliest plans were not numbered and a number has therefore been allocated.

  • Carron Company & Eastern Europe
    Carron Company & Eastern Europe The Export of Industrial Technology to Eastern Europe from Carron in the Late Eighteenth Century: Russia & Silesia Geoff B Bailey When the Carron Ironworks was established in 1759 Scotland was still a rural country. Despite the use of steam engines in a handful of pits, it was technologically backward and its inhabitants reflected the pre- industrial culture. They were ignorant unskilled workers, unwilling to adopt new working methods and content to earn enough to survive upon. There was no enterprise culture, except amongst its merchants, and there were no large manufacturing plants to compare with those in other countries. Scotland’s main chemical product, salt, was produced in a traditional manner organised as little more than a cottage industry. From its conception the Carron Ironworks relied upon foreign expertise. Even refractory bricks could not be made locally and like the hearthstones and timber axle for the water wheel had to be imported from England. Whilst Cadell saw to the day-to-day management of the works, the other two founding partners, Roebuck and Garbett, scoured England in search of the right sort of hard-working knowledgeable foundryman whom they tried desperately to entice northwards. William Downing, a carpenter, millwright and bellows maker was poached from a foundry in the Midlands along with his fellow countryman Thomas Bowne. They were told to bring only two of their workmen, as the intention was to “train Scottish labour for future use.” As was usual, they brought with them family members to help and Downing’s nephew was put in charge of the millwrights.

    Inventory Dep.240 Messrs Russel and Aitken Stored at CB, Phase 1, Level2 Dep.240/1-31 is at GB National Library of Scotland Manuscripts Division George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW Tel: 0131-466 2812 Fax: 0131-466 2811 E-mail: [email protected] © Trustees of the National Library of Scotland Papers from the archives of Messrs Russel and Aitken, Writers, Falkirk. This deposit is a selection made from the archives of Russel and Aitken in Falkirk. It consists of material gathered by the firm while acting as executors, trustees, or liquidators in the course of its normal legal business, and of material brought together by James Russel sen, (1787-1858), James Russel jun (d.1860), and Henry Aitken (d.ca.1900), partners in the firm, in connection with their various mining and industrial undertakings. In the former category the papers relating to the Falkirk Gas Co and its successors, the Stirlingshire Midland Junction Railway, and the whaler ‘Juno’ are the most important, while in the latter the large series of bore journals and mine plans give a clear view of the geological knowledge of central Scotland (particularly of the south of West Lothian) in the mid 19th century. Also included are miscellaneous early charters, several business account books, and the papers of Dr John Aitken FRS, the meteorologist. The general arrangement is as follows: 1. Bore journals of Henry Aitken of Darroch (ca.1860-80), numbered series: 1. Armadale and others, including Polkemmet, Bridgecastle, and Hilderston (with some discussion of the silver deposits there). At the end is an analysis of Boghead Parrot.
