Yorkshire

The recorded chronology of the coal-to-gas conversion technology began in 1670 when a clergyman, John Clayton, in Wakefield, Yorkshire, produced in the laboratory a luminous gas by destmctive distillation of coal (12). At the same time, experiments were also underway elsewhere to carbonize coal to produce coke, but the process was not practical on any significant scale until 1730 (12). In 1792, coal was distilled in an iron retort by a Scottish engineer, who used the by-product gas to illuminate his home (13).

By tradition, top fermentation is carried out using methods that are named for the districts where they originated, eg. The Burton Union System and The Yorkshire Stone Square System. The first fermentation system is initiated in a hot temperated vessel for 36 h, then the fermenting wort is transferred...

In the UK workable potash deposits are confined to the Cleveland-North Yorkshire bed which is 11 m thick and has reserves of >500million tonnes. Massive recovery is also possible from brines e.g. Jordan has a huge plant capable of recovering up to a million tonnes pa from the Dead Sea and the annual production by this country and by Israel now matches that of the USA and France. 

The early nineteenth century saw the beginning of factory production systems, particularly in the cotton mills of Lancashire and woolen mills in Yorkshire. Accidents arising from the use or misuse of steam plant, particularly boilers, became common and led not only to damage and destruction to property but also to death and bodily injury to persons in or about the scene of the explosions.
