Industrial archaeology

|
Industrial archaeology concerns itself with the physical remains of the Industrial Revolution. It is born out of the need to record and preserve the remains of industrialisation before they disappear. It is a part of landscape study and includes cultural aspects also. The term was coined in the 1950s in Birmingham by Michael Rix (Palmer 1998:1).
