The archaeology of industrialisation and the textile industry: the example of Manchester and the south-western pennine uplands during the 18th century (part 1)
Journal Article
Nevell, M. The archaeology of industrialisation and the textile industry: the example of Manchester and the south-western pennine uplands during the 18th century (part 1). Industrial Archaeology Review, 30(1), 33-48. https://doi.org/10.1179/174581908X285110

Between the early 18th century and the mid-19th century the north-west of England was turned from a relatively impoverished backwater to one of the major industrialisation zones in the world. This is thus a key region fopr understanding the archaeolo...

Local landscape character assessment: an evaluation of community-led schemes in Cheshire
Journal Article
James, P., & Gittins, J. Local landscape character assessment: an evaluation of community-led schemes in Cheshire. Landscape Research, 32(4), 423-442. https://doi.org/10.1080/01426390701449794

Planning, especially with the increasing prominence given to community involvement, is a key vehicle for delivering sustainable development. Between 2003 and 2005 two community groups in Cheshire wrote parish landscape character assessments. The comp...

To evaluate the impact of introducing a credit bearing PDP and Skills Development module on students ability to reflect on and plan for their progress in academic and other key skills
Report
Savory, J. To evaluate the impact of introducing a credit bearing PDP and Skills Development module on students ability to reflect on and plan for their progress in academic and other key skills

In September 2005 a credit rated PDP and study skills module was introduced into the first year of the part time HNC in Housing Studies programme. The module combines practical whole group skills development sessions on topics such as essay writing,...
