optional extra visits which you can also book in
advance if you want to.

just give some idea of the weekend ones so I can,
you know,
work out when to see friends, etcetera.

first one is St Ives. That

Oh right.. .
yeah. . . that sounds good.
WOMAN: Then
there
’
s a London trip on the
sixteenth of February and
we
’

Good afternoon everybody and welcome to
Riverside Industrial Village. To start your visit
I
’
m just
going to
give you a brief account of the history of the
museum before letting you roam about on your own.
I won
’
t keep you
long. OK?
Now, from where
we
’
re standing
you
’
ve got a good view of
the river over there. And it was because
of
this fast-flowing water
that this site was a natural place for
manufacturing works. The water and the
availability
of raw
materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore,
and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal
and firewood, all made this site
suitable for
industry from a
very early time.
Q11
Water was the main source of power for
the early industries and some of the water wheels
were first
established in the twelfth
century, would you believe? At that time, local
craftsmen first built an iron
forge
Q12
just behind the village here, on the
bend in the river. By the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries the
region
’
s rivers
supported more than a hundred and water mills -and
many of these continued to operate
well
into
Q13
the
nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was
invented and then the railways came and the
centres of
industry were able to move away from
the rivers and the countryside and into the towns.
So, industrial
villages like this one
became very rare.
So
that
’
s the history for you.
If you
’
d like any more
information, you can ask me some questions, or
you can read further in our excellent
guide book.
