New reports and data are now available from the Black Country Archaeology Service. These include:
The Legacy of Factory Buildings in the Black Country: an investigation which uses the fact that data which was compiled for the Black Country Historic Landscape Characterisation includes thousands of records of industrial sites, and that many of these records have incorporated the text which originally appeared on historic maps of the area. It looks at the historic distribution of important local industries (iron, brick, beer, lime, chain, leather, glass, locks and fasteners) and those sites which survive today.

The Data of the Black Country Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) : now available to download for teaching, learning, and research purposes. This includes a GIS layer of the nearly 13,000 polygons and an associated database of records representing both the modern and historic character of the whole area of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton. To our knowledge this is the first data from an English HLC project to be made available in this way.
The reports and data, together with all previous output from the HLC can be downloaded from: http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/blackcountry_hlc_2009/ (http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/blackcountry_hlc_2009/)
