Rural areas Look at the pictures. What is a rural area?

What types of industry were located in rural areas? 200 years ago – lots of different industries located in the countryside Included: making of woollen cloth, flour-milling, lime-making, brick-making and brewing What types of industry are these?

Why some factories were located in rural area? Many small mines scattered around countryside – small deposits of minerals: iron, lead, tin, copper, silver and even gold. Because of their dangerous nature, some factories – making gunpowder, fireworks and guns, for example – were deliberately located in the countryside... Away from people! DID YOU KNOW? The first coal was mined in rural areas

Match up the features to the former activity. Landscape features Landscape feature Former industrial activity Water mill Power for grinding cereals into flour, power for the woollen industry Lime kiln Burning limestone to make agricultural fertiliser Tip or spoil heap Working of a localised mineral Dry pits Extraction of sand (for building) and clay (for brick-making) Windmill Power for grinding cereals into flour Brick kiln Brick-making Match up the features to the former activity. 1. Power for grinding cereals into flour 2. Burning limestone to make agricultural fertiliser 3. Power for grinding cereals into flour, power for the woollen industry 4. Brick-making 5. Extraction of sand (for building) and clay (for brick-making) 6. Working of localised mineral

Very few of these industries are still going. Why? And then... Farmers today use chemical fertilisers rather than lime Flour-milling and brewing are now concentrated in or near urban areas Old industrial building are either demolished or put to new uses What industry decline is this a part of?

What were the effects of deindustrialisation?

What were the effects of deindustrialisation? Disadvantages The loss of jobs in rural areas. The break-up of rural communities, as people move to towns and cities to find work. Derelict industrial buildings and disused quarries scar the landscape. The need to clean up old industrial sites – demolishing old buildings, filling in old pits and removing toxic waste. Advantages Less environmental pollution. Old industrial buildings that can be made into tourist attractions. The opportunity to remove ugly industrial buildings from the landscape. The chance to return land to farming (reagriculturalisation) or forestry – or to create new wildlife habitats. The opportunity to use brownfield sites for new housing.

What are the NEGATIVE effects of deindustrialisation of the mine that you can see in this picture? What ways might you use the landscape to improve it? Be creative!

Use examples to describe and explain benefits of de-industrialisation: cleaning up sites, tourist use, recreation, wildlife habitats, re- agriculturalisation of land. Describe and explain the costs: infilling, toxic waste, methane gas, inadequate toxic clean-up.

Use the information sheets and the cost/benefit table to help you. In your groups you must prepare a 3 minute presentation on why industrialisation is good or bad for your given group of people. Use the information sheets and the cost/benefit table to help you. GOOD LUCK!
