  • 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 firewoodQ11, all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time.

    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 craftsmenQ12 first built an iron forge just behind the viflage here, on the bend in the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the region's rivers supported more than a hundred and sixtyQ13 water mills - and many of these continued to operate welf into 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 vilfages like this one became very rare.

    So that's the history for you. If you'd fike any more information, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our exceflent guide book.
    Now I'm going to give you a pfan of the site and I'd just like to point out where everything is and then you can take a look at everything far yourself.

    I've already pointed out the river, which is on the left. And of course, running along the bottom is Woodside

' >Q20. These were built for the workers towards the end of the eighteenth century and they're stift furnished from that period so you can get a good idea of ordinary people's living conditions. Across the yard from them, you can see the stables where the horses were kept for transporting the products. And the separate building in front of them is the Works Office and that still has some of the old accounts on display.

Right, if anyone wants a guided tour then I'm starting at the Engine Room. If you'd like to come along, this way please, ladies and gentlemen.
