 BAR 352 2003: The Archaeology of the Clay Tobacco Pipe 17 The Archaeology of the Clay Tobacco Pipe XVII. Pollocks of Manchester: Three Generations of Clay Tobacco Pipemakers by S. Paul Jung Jr., edited by David A. Higgins. ISBN 184171528X. £47.00. viii+390 pages; 191 figures, drawings, illustrations and photographs.
The latest volume in the BAR series The Archaeology of the Clay Tobacco Pipe is the first to be devoted entirely to the history and products of a single firm. When Edward Pollock opened his pipe works in Manchester in 1879, he laid the foundations of a family business that was to flourish for three generations. The company passed from father to son for 111 years until 1990 when Edwards grandson, Gordon, finally sold the business. During this time, a great deal of archive paperwork and old stock accumulated and it is this material that has allowed the author to provide one of the most detailed records of a pipemaking family and their factory ever published. The book includes dozens of illustrations and photographs showing the family, manufacturing process, pipes, advertising material and letterheads from the archives, and will provide a mine of information of relevance to a variety of different audiences. For archaeologists, museum curators and collectors there are illustrations and dating evidence for the various marks and patterns of pipe that were used by three of the main Manchester firms. For industrial historians, practical potters or those with a technical interest there are detailed accounts of the manufacturing and firing processes. For social and economic historians there is information on production figures, pay and labour conditions, trade unions and manufacturing costs. For genealogists and local historians there are details of how the family was intimately connected with the business, the names of employees who worked at the factory and a mass of dated correspondence with other companies and individuals from all over the country transcribed with examples of printed letterheads. Above all, this work addresses the nature and evolution of traditional pipe making during the course of the twentieth century, a period that has hitherto received very little attention. This book makes a significant and lasting contribution to our understanding of the clay tobacco pipe industry and provides a detailed case study from which broader comparisons, both geographical and temporal, can be made.
BAR 346 2003: Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit Monograph Series 6 Settlement, Burial and Industry in Roman Godmanchester Excavations in the extra-mural area: The Parks 1998, London Road 19978, and other investigations edited by Alex Jones . ISBN 184171844. £37.00. xi+229 pages; 57 tables; 50 plates, drawings, plans, photographs; 15-page bibliography; 3 Appendices.
This volume presents the results from two excavations in the extra-mural area of Roman Godmanchester. Excavation at the Parks, to the north of the Roman town, was undertaken during 1998 in advance of a housing development, providing an opportunity to examine a large area flanking a Roman road. Important evidence for early Romano-British land-division and pottery production, mainly in the 2nd to 3rd centuries, was recorded. The most significant discovery was of a cemetery, probably dating to the 4th century, containing 62 largely well-preserved individuals. Excavation at London Road, to the south of Roman Godmanchester, was undertaken in two stages during 1997 and 1998, in advance of a school development, and investigated an area to the rear of the Ermine Street frontage. In addition to evidence of early-prehistoric activity, the excavation identified a sequence of Romano-British ditch-defined enclosures, a timber-framed building, and evidence for industrial activity and livestock herding or ranching. The results of other, smaller-scale investigations, at Chord Business Park, to the south of the Roman town, and at West Street, within the Roman town, are also summarised.
