The Industrial Revolution in Britain irrevocably altered the land and its people and the evidence of this dramatic change exists all around us in the shape of industrial sites, buildings and housing. This kit aims to encourage education groups to:
- gain an understanding of the form and function of industrial structures and processes,
- to investigate industrial sites in their locality and via activities, case studies and resources to look at the many ways Britain’s industrial heritage can be used for inspiration across the curriculum.
It is organized into six sections:
- 01 Background
including why study industrial sites and choosing a site to visit - 02 Interpreting industrial sites
looking for evidence of industry - 03 Memorials
industrialisation had many consequences - 04 Housing
new forms of housing connected with industry - 05 The curriculum
and industrial study - 06 Industrial Heritage at Risk
why should we look after industrial buildings?
