A Reporters Notebook labelled 'Bath Nov 1967, Group 9 Reading Feb 1968, Kent & Staffs 1968', the contents being itemised on the front and back covers.
The 'Bath' section of the notebook begins with 43 pages of notes which appear to have been taken at a conference on industrial archaeology and possible means of preserving its heritage, including discussion of open-air museums. Notes are taken from talks by: Angus Buchanan - 'The Status of Industrial Archaeology; 'The Techniques of Industrial Archaeology, Part I and II' - Michael Rix and Frank Atkinson, respectively; and a paper given by Kenneth Hudson, giving particular reference to the approach adopted by museums in Scandinavia.
The 'Reading' section is marked 'Group 9, CBA' and features notes on lectures given at a further symposium on: the farm estate at Buscott Park (John Grayson) - at one time considered to be the most industrialised in the country; the Bucklebury Foundry ([Mc]Combe); and S. & E. Collier's gravel and brick-works [in Reading] (Ken Major).
The remainder of the notebook records visits to various industrial buildings and works in Kent (including a waterworks, two breweries and a wheelwrights) and numerous sites in Staffordshire, including several concerned with the china and earthenware manufacturing industry and surrounding canal network. Mills visited are listed at 'Place access points' below. Unindexed watermills were visited at: Park Mill, High Offley, Eccleshall; Wetley Rocks; and Cookshill, Caverswall, as was an unidentified mill called Logwood [Logwodd] Mill about which, Wailes notes, a film was made by the BBC .
