Abstract

Abstract This article considers the Monuments Protection Programme, initiated by English Heritage in 1986, in relation to policies concerning industrial monuments. Particular reference is made to recent work aimed to achieve stronger protection of sites relating to the non-ferrous metals industry, and especially upland lead mines and smelters. Occasional reference is made to the wordlists compiled in the tin and copper industries. Through the Ironbridge Institute, the writer (working jointly with Barrie Trinder) has been involved in consultancy work for the MPP to compile wordlists and databases. He is a member of a small working party, established by the Industrial Archaeology Sub-Committee of English Heritage, to consider the remains of the lead mining industry.
