The Great Falls Cotton Mill in Rock Island, TN is a large three-story brick textile mill built in 1892 at a time when the cotton mill industry was at its peak throughout the Southeast. It is a monument to Warren County's initial industrial development, which was based on water-powered mills. It is also the only industrial structure remaining that was planned by Asa Faulkner, "the nestor of all Warren County's manufacturing interests," and the patriarch of the largest mill-owning family in the county. Furthermore, the Great Falls Cotton Mill is the only textile mill manufacturing building constructed prior to 1930 remaining in Warren County, and is the only building remaining associated with the village of Falls City, a small mill town built by the owners to provide mill laborers a place to live & shop. The mill was in operation for ten years until the July 1902 flood. The Great Falls Cotton Mill was fortunate in that only its mill wheel was lost. However, the owners felt it was time to sell and The Great Falls Power Company bought the mill later in July 1902. In 1912, the Tennessee Power Company purchased the site and in the late 1930s, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) acquired the mill. In 1973, TVA leased the property to the Tennessee Department of Conservation. Each of these owners have utilized the structure for storage and office space; as a result few changes have been made to the building and its integrity has been retained. At the time of the submission of this information in paperwork to the National Register of Historic Places, the mill stood empty with studies underway by the Department of Conservation to determine adaptive uses (restaurant, cotton mill museum, lodge, etc) for the structure. The mill was added to the NRHP on August 26, 1982 and the information above can be viewed here:

Boole Technology Centre at the University of Linoln's Science & Innovation Park, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Lincoln Science & Innovation Park is built on the site of the fomer Ruston Bucyrus factory in the centre of Lincoln.
Lincoln’s southwest industrial quarter has been at the heart of the city’s prosperity for more than 150 years. Not only was it at the forefront of industrial plant development -it can claim to be the home of the original tank before WW1- by the middle of the Twentieth Century, it boasted Europe’s largest foundry. The Science Park has preserved much of this heritage by retaining the majority of the old HQ, Becor House, and the former substation that is now the reception area of Boole Technology Centre.
Lincoln Science and Innovation Park (LSIP) has been tasked by its founders, the University of Lincoln and the Lincolnshire Co-op, with reinvigorating this site as an engine of industry driven by science, technology and innovation.
Since it opened, Lincoln Science & Innovation Park has created 12,000m2 of renovated and purpose-built space that is home to a science and tech community. Phase Two of the park’s development aims to continue this success by creating an environment to engage larger and expanding businesses, it will offer bespoke developments for sole-occupancy to medium and large knowledge-intensive businesses.
More than £22 million has been spent on the project since 2013, principally on the Joseph Banks Laboratories and the Boole Technology Centre, supporting small and medium enterprises and the University of Lincoln’s College of Science. The new expansion will offer a new hub for private sector investment and innovation, alongside state-of-the-art academic research science facilities in the centre of Lincoln.
Buildings will range in size from 5,000 to 27,000 sq ft (500m2 to 2,500m2) over six landscaped acres of the current park, with access to its facilities and services. The land has outline planning consent for 12,000m2 of new development, however individual applications will be submitted.

One of the many official handbooks that were issued by nearly all UK local authorities during the mid-20th century to help 'sell' the borough or district and that were as much aimed at attracting business to industrial towns as well as resorts or holiday haunts. This 1947 one, issued by the County Borough of Derby Estates and Development Committee is in fact a very lavish affair with a large number of adverts for the county town's many companies as well as describing the borough's amenities and services.
The cover is a bold 'spotlight' on Derby, casting a shadow over a good chunk of England and is far removed from the usual staid presentation of the borough coat of arms that normally adorn such books!

A rather unusual book describing Edinburgh's existing manufacturing industries and promoting the city as a home for others. We often think of Edinburgh as an administrative capital and tourist spot but it is worth recalling that the city, although not heavily industrial in many ways, did have some large manufacturing sectors such as brewing, printing and publishing, rubber, electrical engineering and in Leith, trades allied to the shipbuilding industry. As the book points out - Leith allowed sea access through the port, the city had good railway links and was adjacent to the Lothians coalfield (and shale oil production) that at the time was seen as a distinct advantage for energy.
The book has vatious chapters on facilities, infrastructure, sites and labour. It has a fine map, overprinting on a W & A K Johnston's city map the available sites and railway conenctions. The latter is interesting as it shows both North British and Caledonian lines just before Grouping in 1923 and highlights the duplication as both companies attempted to gain access to the same places!
The title page must rank as having one of the nattiest titles ever : A book issued by the Edinburgh Society for the Promotion of Trade in furtherance of the movement in favour of developing New Industries and Extending Existing Industries in Edinburgh, Leith and The Lothians. The cover has a rather charming and traditional view of the city centre from Salisbury Crags - and witht he belt of industrial sites that included printing and brewing that sat adjacent to the park at this point.

A fascinating "official handbook" of the style produced usually for individual councils, this c1955 book was issued as part of the drive to attract new industries to the North East Lancashire Development Area. The area was one of a number designated under Government powers that were embodied in the Distribution of Industry Act, 1945, that was intended to assist 'declining areas' as well as attempting to spread the growing 'light' industries more equitably across the UK. It allowed the Board of Trade to construct factories for lease and to make loans for the development of such facilities as industrial estates as well as improving 'basic services' such as transport, power, housing health and the reclaimation of derelict land.
The North East Lancashire area consisted of Burnley, Nelson, Colne, Barrowfield, Brierfield, Padiham, Trawden, parts of the Rural District of Burnley and even across the County boundary to include Barnoldswick, Earby and Salterforth in West Yorkshire. Some large companies did indeed relocate works and plant here, including Lucas Industries, British Thomson-Houston and Platers & Stampers. The latter was best known as the manufacturers of the Prestige range of kitchen goods. Indeed, the lower photo shows the large factory in Burnley, constructed in 1937 with the assistance of the local authority, that Platers & Stampers used.
Plater & Stampers had, since 1936, been backed by the US EKCO company who thanks to EK Cole, Ecko Radio, of Southend on Sea, couldn't use the name here. They made domestic and kitchen equipment and appliances and post-war expansion saw them start to use the "Prestige" name that became a well known brand - indeed, we still have a Prestige hand wisk and the the base of one of their pressure cookers. The factories have long since gone but the brand name survives under different ownership.
The upper photo shows a 'typical' Board of Trade inspired construction, this at Simonstone. This factory was destined to become a major site for the locally, Blackburn based, Mullard Electronics, who manufactured radio valves and moved into the production of television components such as television tubes. They were eventually acquired by Philips.
A small card covered booklet issued in 1934 by the council's Development Manager explaining the central situation and advantages of Coventry as a base for industry. At the time Coventry was fortunate in that it was bucking the trend of many 'traditional' industrial areas as it was home to many of the newer consumer industries that weathered the storm of the Depression in better shape. These included light engineering, especially bicycles and motor cars, elctrical goods and man-made fibres. The booklet extols the availability of skilled and educated workforces.
The booklet gives an interesting list and description of sites and locations for new works. These include the old Coventry Ordnance Works, then owned by English Electric and available for disposal, older works now vacated by the original manufacturers for newer suburban factories, such as Rover's Parkside Works, as well as 'greenfield' sites at Radford, Pinley, Tile Hill and Canley. The old National Filling Factory, another relic of WW1 munitions, was also available at Holbrook Lane.
The cover plays it safe in terms of design with an embossed version of the coat of arms and gothic style lettering.

Three flags for three trading estates; those of Speke, Fazakerley and Kirkby. As the text tells the City of Liverpool were very determined to broaden the city's industrial base and trade in the mid-20th century and, in connection with the vast suburban expansion based on new social, or council housing, they were amongst many British towns and cities well ahead of the game.
The advert stresses the locations of not only the estates themselves but also of the city ; it was at the time one of the world's great ports with a huge industrial hinterland. The three estates did well in the growing economy of the 1950s and early 1960s and the city did attract new industries such as motor manufacturing, light engineering and domestic appliances.

A very detailed guide and review of the City of Belfast's industrial and commercial facilities issued in c1960 by the City Council and published, like so many other 'official handbooks' by Burrow's. The cover links the traditional industries of Ulster, in this case that of linen and textiles, along with the 'brave new industrial world' the Council and the NI Government at Stormont were attempting to build - most noticably through some of the most generous grant aid available for relocation, factory sites and buildings and training. These, such as new man-made fibre production and new works for companies such as Gallaher's tobacco, were intended to compliment existing industries such as ship building and aircraft construction.
A suitably modernist take for what was regarded as Britain's most 'modern' city, Coventry. Issued to help attract additional industry to the city by the Council in 1935 the leaflet makes claim to being at the centre of Industrial England and that it was truly a city of 'progress'. It is true that it was home to a raft of relatively modern industries, based around engineering, and that had sprung from late Victorian origins in trades such as bicycle manufacturing. By 1935 it was home to a substantial number of British car manufacturers as well as the ancilliary trades that supported the motor industry. There was also a notable presence in the electrical and machine tool trades.
The Council were active in promoting industrial sites within the boundaries, as well as promoting services that supported industry such as energy supplies, transport and a skilled workforce. The cover is suitable 'Things to Come' with the city of 'Three Spires' and three modes of transport. The appearence of an airplane was, sadly, to be prescient of what was to happen in five short years time when Coventry became one of so many cities subject to aerial bombardment in the Second World War. The very industries extolled here made it a strategic target for German forces and the city was so badly blitzed it gave rise to a word of sorts - to Coventrate.

It is situated on the future location of a new Science and Innovation Park, built jointly by the Lincolnshire Coop and the University of Lincoln, off Tritton Road, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The University of Lincoln developed from a number of educational institutions in Hull including the Hull School of Art (1861), the Hull Technical Institute (1893), the Roman Catholic teacher-training Endsleigh College (1905), the Hull Central College of Commerce (1930), and Kingston upon Hull College of Education (1913). These institutions merged in 1976 to form Hull College of Higher Education, with a change of name to Humberside College of Higher Education in 1983 when it absorbed several courses in fishing, food and manufacturing based in Grimsby.
In 1992 it was one of the many institutions in the UK to become full universities as, briefly, the University of Humberside, growing to 13,000 students by 1993.
The cathedral city of Lincoln was without its own university, so the University of Humberside was approached to develop a new campus to the south west of the city centre, overlooking the Brayford Pool. The University was renamed the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside in January 1996, taking in its first 500 Lincoln students in September 1996, intending to grow to about 4,000 Lincoln based students within four years.
Opened by Queen Elizabeth II, the University's main campus in Lincoln was the first new city centre campus to be built in the UK for decades. More than £150 million has been invested in the Brayford Pool campus, transforming a city centre brownfield site, revitalising the area and attracting investment from the retail, leisure and property sectors. Economists estimate that the University has created at least 3,000 new jobs within Lincoln and that it generates more than £250 million every year for the local economy – doubling previous local economic growth rates.
The consolidation involved the University acquiring Leicester-based De Montfort University's schools in Lincolnshire: the Lincoln School of Art and Design in uphill Lincoln, and the Lincolnshire School of Agriculture's sites at Riseholme, Caythorpe and Holbeach. Caythorpe was later closed permanently and its activities moved to Riseholme. Courses held in Grimsby were also moved to Lincoln around this time.
In 2012 all Further Education provision was transferred from Riseholme College to Bishop Burton College. Bishop Burton College are now responsible for the Riseholme College to the north of the city.
Throughout the late-1990s, the University's sites in Hull were considerably scaled down as the focus shifted towards Lincoln. In 2001 this process was taken a step further when the decision was made to move the administrative headquarters and management to Lincoln and to sell the Cottingham Road campus in Hull, the former main campus, to its neighbour, the University of Hull; the site is now the home of the Hull York Medical School. Until 2012 the University maintained a smaller campus, the Derek Crothall Building, in Hull city centre. A smaller campus and student halls on Beverley Road, Hull, were also sold for redevelopment.
A fascinating "official handbook" of the style produced usually for individual councils, this c1955 book was issued as part of the drive to attract new industries to the North East Lancashire Development Area. The area was one of a number designated under Government powers that were embodied in the Distribution of Industry Act, 1945, that was intended to assist 'declining areas' as well as attempting to spread the growing 'light' industries more equitably across the UK. It allowed the Board of Trade to construct factories for lease and to make loans for the development of such facilities as industrial estates as well as improving 'basic services' such as transport, power, housing health and the reclaimation of derelict land.
The North East Lancashire area consisted of Burnley, Nelson, Colne, Barrowfield, Brierfield, Padiham, Trawden, parts of the Rural District of Burnley and even across the County boundary to include Barnoldswick, Earby and Salterforth in West Yorkshire. Some large companies did indeed relocate works and plant here, including Lucas Industries, British Thomson-Houston and Platers & Stampers. The latter was best known as the manufacturers of the Prestige range of kitchen goods.
Plater & Stampers had, since 1936, been backed by the US EKCO company who thanks to EK Cole, Ecko Radio, of Southend on Sea, couldn't use the name here. They made domestic and kitchen equipment and appliances and post-war expansion saw them start to use the "Prestige" name that became a well known brand - indeed, we still have a Prestige hand wisk and the the base of one of their pressure cookers. The factories have long since gone but the brand name survives under different ownership.

A suitably modernist take for what was regarded as Britain's most 'modern' city, Coventry. Issued to help attract additional industry to the city by the Council in 1935 the leaflet makes claim to being at the centre of Industrial England and that it was truly a city of 'progress'. It is true that it was home to a raft of relatively modern industries, based around engineering, and that had sprung from late Victorian origins in trades such as bicycle manufacturing. By 1935 it was home to a substantial number of British car manufacturers as well as the ancilliary trades that supported the motor industry. There was also a notable presence in the electrical and machine tool trades.
The Council were active in promoting industrial sites within the boundaries, as well as promoting services that supported industry such as energy supplies, transport and a skilled workforce. The cover is suitable 'Things to Come' with the city of 'Three Spires' and three modes of transport. The appearence of an airplane was, sadly, to be prescient of what was to happen in five short years time when Coventry became one of so many cities subject to aerial bombardment in the Second World War. The very industries extolled here made it a strategic target for German forces and the city was so badly blitzed it gave rise to a word of sorts - to Coventrate.
These folds end with the note - 'all are prosperous' and to an extent this was seen as being 'true' in comparison with older and heavier industrial areas in the UK (such as cotton) that had not been as buffered against The Depression of the early '30s as Coventry, with newer industries, perhaps had been.
What: Rally for the reef protest on 25 august 2013 at Queens Park, Brisbane Australia. Why: to help stop greater industrialisation of The Great Barrier Reef.
Protest rally happened same time as Tony Abbott and the Liberal Party had election campaign conference across the Brisbane River at Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC).

UPDATE:
“Environmentalists are accusing Scott Morrison of "trashing" Australia's international reputation, as official documents reveal the broad scale of his government's efforts to significantly increase coal exports at a time of mass protests calling for action on climate change.” “The government is seeking to grow its coal exports in overseas markets as it looks to buttress the economic fallout from a deteriorating relationship with China.” 22 September 2019 www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/pm-accused-of-trashing-au...
“If Adani’s mine goes ahead it will be one of the largest coal mines in the world and will generate an estimated 4.7 billion tonnes of carbon pollution over its lifetime.” “The mine would drive massive industrial port expansion along the Reef coastline at Abbot Point. Over a million cubic metres of the seafloor would be dredged for a new coal terminal, threatening the habitat of vulnerable dugongs and turtles and dolphins. There would be hundreds more coal ships ploughing through the Reef’s waters every year, increasing the risk of accidents.” www.marineconservation.org.au/stop-adani-wrecking-our-reef/
“Currently there are over 11,000 shipping movements through the Great Barrier Reef each year.” “When the massive coal carrier Shen Neng 1 crashed into the Reef in 2010 it damaged an area covering 0.4 square kilometres – the largest ever recorded by a ship grounding in the Great Barrier Reef.” www.marineconservation.org.au/dredging-shipping-great-bar...

The now location of the University of Linoln's Science & Innovation Park, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Lincoln Science & Innovation Park is built on the site of the fomer Ruston Bucyrus factory in the centre of Lincoln.
Lincoln’s southwest industrial quarter has been at the heart of the city’s prosperity for more than 150 years. Not only was it at the forefront of industrial plant development -it can claim to be the home of the original tank before WW1- by the middle of the Twentieth Century, it boasted Europe’s largest foundry. The Science Park has preserved much of this heritage by retaining the majority of the old HQ, Becor House, and the former substation that is now the reception area of Boole Technology Centre.
Lincoln Science and Innovation Park (LSIP) has been tasked by its founders, the University of Lincoln and the Lincolnshire Co-op, with reinvigorating this site as an engine of industry driven by science, technology and innovation.
Since it opened, Lincoln Science & Innovation Park has created 12,000m2 of renovated and purpose-built space that is home to a science and tech community. Phase Two of the park’s development aims to continue this success by creating an environment to engage larger and expanding businesses, it will offer bespoke developments for sole-occupancy to medium and large knowledge-intensive businesses.
More than £22 million has been spent on the project since 2013, principally on the Joseph Banks Laboratories and the Boole Technology Centre, supporting small and medium enterprises and the University of Lincoln’s College of Science. The new expansion will offer a new hub for private sector investment and innovation, alongside state-of-the-art academic research science facilities in the centre of Lincoln.
Buildings will range in size from 5,000 to 27,000 sq ft (500m2 to 2,500m2) over six landscaped acres of the current park, with access to its facilities and services. The land has outline planning consent for 12,000m2 of new development, however individual applications will be submitted.

The latter was best known as the manufacturers of the Prestige range of kitchen goods.
One of the services that the guide, and indeed the Development Area, pushed was the availability of power (both electrical and gas) and these photos show two power stations. The bottom photo shows the Padiham Power Generating station, known as Padiham A and constructed by the Lancashire Electric Power Company and that opened in pre-nationalisation days, in 1926 - 28. A 'selected' station for the new National Grid system, the station was linked across the LEP network and supplied bulk loads to other undertakings.
By 1957 the British Electric Authority (that had in 1955 become the Central Electricity Authority) had authorised a second station, Padiham B, and this was commissioned in 1962. Both stations were coal fired, intended to use locally produced fuel, and A station closed in 1969 and B ceased generation in 1993.
The upper photo seems to be incorrectly captioned as it appears - see below - that it is Huncoat Power Station. This was planned by the municipal undertaking of Accrington Corporation and indeed, months before nationalisation, work on site commenced in January 1948 but it came into commission under the British Electricity Authority in 1952. The station closed in 1984.

The very industries extolled here made it a strategic target for German forces and the city was so badly blitzed it gave rise to a word of sorts - to Coventrate.
The inner folds open out to this photomontage of scenes of industry and assembly including car production, electrical works, rayon production (Courtaulds) and aircraft manufacturing. It was "The City of Progress".
A rather unusual book describing Edinburgh's existing manufacturing industries and promoting the city as a home for others. We often think of Edinburgh as an administrative capital and tourist spot but it is worth recalling that the city, although not heavily industrial in many ways, did have some large manufacturing sectors such as brewing, printing and publishing, rubber, electrical engineering and in Leith, trades allied to the shipbuilding industry. As the book points out - Leith allowed sea access through the port, the city had good railway links and was adjacent to the Lothians coalfield (and shale oil production) that at the time was seen as a distinct advantage for energy.
The book has vatious chapters on facilities, infrastructure, sites and labour. It has a fine map, overprinting on a W & A K Johnston's city map the available sites and railway conenctions. The latter is interesting as it shows both North British and Caledonian lines just before Grouping in 1923 and highlights the duplication as both companies attempted to gain access to the same places!
The title page must rank as having one of the nattiest titles ever : A book issued by the Edinburgh Society for the Promotion of Trade in furtherance of the movement in favour of developing New Industries and Extending Existing Industries in Edinburgh, Leith and The Lothians.

Economists estimate that the University has created at least 3,000 new jobs within Lincoln and that it generates more than £250 million every year for the local economy – doubling previous local economic growth rates.
The consolidation involved the University acquiring Leicester-based De Montfort University's schools in Lincolnshire: the Lincoln School of Art and Design in uphill Lincoln, and the Lincolnshire School of Agriculture's sites at Riseholme, Caythorpe and Holbeach. Caythorpe was later closed permanently and its activities moved to Riseholme. Courses held in Grimsby were also moved to Lincoln around this time.
In 2012 all Further Education provision was transferred from Riseholme College to Bishop Burton College. Bishop Burton College are now responsible for the Riseholme College to the north of the city.
Throughout the late-1990s, the University's sites in Hull were considerably scaled down as the focus shifted towards Lincoln. In 2001 this process was taken a step further when the decision was made to move the administrative headquarters and management to Lincoln and to sell the Cottingham Road campus in Hull, the former main campus, to its neighbour, the University of Hull; the site is now the home of the Hull York Medical School. Until 2012 the University maintained a smaller campus, the Derek Crothall Building, in Hull city centre. A smaller campus and student halls on Beverley Road, Hull, were also sold for redevelopment.
What: Rally for the reef protest on 25 august 2013 at Queens Park, Brisbane Australia. Why: to help stop greater industrialisation of The Great Barrier Reef.

UPDATE:
“Environmentalists are accusing Scott Morrison of "trashing" Australia's international reputation, as official documents reveal the broad scale of his government's efforts to significantly increase coal exports at a time of mass protests calling for action on climate change.” “The government is seeking to grow its coal exports in overseas markets as it looks to buttress the economic fallout from a deteriorating relationship with China.” 22 September 2019 www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/pm-accused-of-trashing-au...
“If Adani’s mine goes ahead it will be one of the largest coal mines in the world and will generate an estimated 4.7 billion tonnes of carbon pollution over its lifetime.” “The mine would drive massive industrial port expansion along the Reef coastline at Abbot Point. Over a million cubic metres of the seafloor would be dredged for a new coal terminal, threatening the habitat of vulnerable dugongs and turtles and dolphins. There would be hundreds more coal ships ploughing through the Reef’s waters every year, increasing the risk of accidents.” www.marineconservation.org.au/stop-adani-wrecking-our-reef/
“Currently there are over 11,000 shipping movements through the Great Barrier Reef each year.” “When the massive coal carrier Shen Neng 1 crashed into the Reef in 2010 it damaged an area covering 0.4 square kilometres – the largest ever recorded by a ship grounding in the Great Barrier Reef.” www.marineconservation.org.au/dredging-shipping-great-bar...
