Industrial monuments in Britain only became the subject of serious academic attention after World War II. This paper considers the ways in which the industrial past has been perceived over the past half-century at both academic and popular levels. It focuses on the interpretation of three historical periods: the Industrial Revolution of the late-18th century and the first half of the 19th century, which tends to dominate most discussions of British industrial archeology; the last third of the 19th century, which saw the widespread growth of factories producing consumer goods; and the 20th century, during which the influence on industry of two world wars has been profound. Perceptions of the industrial past are related to developments in historical thinking over the last 50 years; the growing acknowledgement that the histories of Scotland and Wales should be seen as distinct from that of England; the awareness of environmental, gender, and ethnic issues; and the sense that the British Empire was a relatively short-lived phenomenon, which for much of the 20th century, imported rather than exported new technology and entrepreneurial skills. The paper looks at the relationships between industrial archeology and parallel academic disciplines and takes a critical view of the ways in which the industrial past is interpreted to the public at large, concluding with an examination of the potential for industrial archeological scholarship and for the conservation of monuments.
