ABSTRACT The cotton-spinning mills developed in Nottinghamshire by George Robinson and his sons in the late 18th century were acknowledged by contemporary writers to be pioneering. Faced with a crisis in their water supply, their early use of steam power was ground-breaking. Furthermore, their impact on the landscape was considerable. From the 1960s, researchers identified surviving earthworks and catalogued aspects of the business. Exploration of the mill water system since 2000 has revealed more detail about their innovative approach to maintaining production with their water-wheels, using a modest stream and a combination of surface water storage and groundwater sources. An HLF-funded project has recently extended the archaeological research at Papplewick with extensive surveying and targeted excavation. A wider socio-economic appraisal of the Robinson mills has also been undertaken. This article discusses some of the outputs of the project.

纺纱:诺丁汉郡莱恩山谷的景观考古学故事

摘要 乔治·罗宾逊 (George Robinson) 和他的儿子们在 18 世纪后期在诺丁汉郡开发的棉纺厂被当代作家认为是开创性的。面对供水危机,他们早期使用蒸汽动力是开创性的。此外,它们对景观的影响是相当大的。从 1960 年代开始,研究人员确定了幸存的土方工程并对业务的各个方面进行了编目。自 2000 年以来对工厂水系统的探索揭示了有关他们通过水轮维持生产的创新方法的更多细节,使用适度的河流以及地表水储存和地下水源的组合。HLF 资助的一个项目最近通过广泛的调查和有针对性的挖掘扩展了 Papplewick 的考古研究。还对罗宾逊工厂进行了更广泛的社会经济评估。本文讨论了该项目的一些输出。
