Okay guys, I'm stumped, and my Google-Fu has failed me.

Does anyone know where I can find maps of foundries, mills, and similar structures of old-fashioned construction and assembly? Accurate to the middle ages is best, but anything accurate to the late Victorian Era is servicable.

If the maps also have descriptions of the various processes, that'd be even better, but it's not essential.

Thanks much.

Uhm no idea but I lived in a suburb of Birmingham. They were kind of the kings of the Industrial Revolution. That help at all Ari?

Altavista - Medieval NEAR mills

You might want to look up "Agricola" too - his text is the bible of Medieval machinery.

Phooo, beaten to it. De Re Metallica is very good, and the version translated by Herbert Hoover is available through Amazon. Not really medieval though, late renaisance would be closer.(Weird, this is the third time his book has come up for me this week...) A bit dry, but the woodcuts are very detailed for their time, they delayed publication til a year after Agricola's death (1555). One of the books that has changed the world.
