Starter: Competition – A’s you are the benefits, B’s you are the costs. See who can come up with the most costs or benefits to deindustrialisation in rural areas.
Benefits
Costs
Danger- waste material from coal mines causing landslides in Aberfan
Toxic material left in the ground making it expensive to clean up and difficult to use again.

Definition: The decline in industrial activity in a region or an economy.

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

5. 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?

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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?

9. Old spoil heaps
Beckton Alps

10. What were the effects of deindustrialisation?

11. 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 ways might you use the landscape to improve it? Be creative!

22. 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.

23. 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.
