SUMMARY:'How Chaddesley Corbett Changed the World' by David Hardwick
DESCRIPTION:Joining us IN PERSON – just turn up\, there’s no need to register.\nJoining us ONLINE – please click this Zoom link 10 mins before the event to join in. \nThe Role of the Potter family in the Industrial Revolution\nThe beginning of the Industrial Revolution is often traced back to 1712 when Thomas Newcomen built a mechanical pump that was not powered by wind\, water\, or human/animal power in Dudley. There are\, however\, many myths and mistakes in this traditional narrative\, particularly regarding the role played by a small boy called Humphrey Potter in creating the first truly self-acting machine. The Potter family were from Chaddesley Corbett. \nThis talk looks at the facts around the earliest Newcomen Engines and what role the family played in changing the world. \nAbout the Speaker\nDavid Hardwick is a Chartered Building Surveyor specialising in historic properties and particularly in industrial archaeology. He is an experienced lecturer at colleges and universities in all aspects of construction and heritage\, as well as giving talks to a wide range of local and national history organisations. It is his passion for industrial archaeology and\, in particular\, mining history and the development of the early Newcomen Engines that results in his latest research. He is the current chairman of the Western Region of the Newcomen Society.  \nThis paper is partly based on one delivered at the Early Steam Engines in Central European Mining Conference in Banská Štiavnica\, Slovakia on 7-8th October 2022. \nDavid will also be delivering a paper based on the early engine houses in Scotland at the Third International Early Engine House Conference to be hosted at the Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life at Coatbridge near Glasgow on 22nd to the 24th of March 2024.
