Industry Make sure you have a “location of industry” sheet and a highlighter. We are now going to try the 2003 past paper question on the location of industry. Core

Industry Question 7 – Industrial Geography Answers should be able to identify a number of common factors in the location of industry in this area. For example: Access to dual-carriageway (A494/548) or Motorway (M53/56) for transport of raw materials/products (Areas A, B, D, E, F) Motorway network leads to many nearby large cities eg Liverpool and Manchester – markets/sources of components Access to rail network (Areas A – F) for transport Canal/tidal river for import of heavy raw materials (Areas D and E) Flat land – ease of building (Areas A – G) Plenty room for expansion (Areas E and F) Nearby power stations (2971, 4576) Nearby settlements for workforce eg Chester for Area G Airport Or any other correct, relevant point Appropriate grid references could be rewarded up to a maximum of 2 marks.

Industry Air – pollution from coal burning factories, railway engines and houses. Smoke, dust, soot and smog discolouring buildings and affecting the health of the people living in close proximity to their work. (High incidence of lung diseases like bronchitis). Water – untreated effluent and sewage from the buildings entering the local streams with resulting damage to ecosystems. Land – subsidence and land slippage due to mining and waste tipping with little control/health and safety laws. (Aberfan). Buildings – closely packed communities of housing/factories/transport. High population densities and overcrowding leading to poor environmental quality – little greenery or open space. Tall, brick factories with metal gratings over windows, chimneys etc – poor visual quality Core Impact of old industrial Landscapes

Industry Flat land for easy construction of large low factory buildings. Room for future expansion; space for car parking and storage. Proximity to markets ie large urban areas. On edge of urban area for cheaper land costs/rent and proximity to labour force in housing estates/suburbs. Close to other modern industries that supply components or provide a market. Close to motorways/main roads-easy access for deliveries/work force. Close to airports ie for foreign executives. Close to ports for export/import. Close to universities ie source of highly skilled employees and possible partners in research projects. Government and EU incentives/grants. Core New Industrial Landscape
