Question 1

Do you think that the internet, especially social networking sites like Facebook, could provide support and generate interest in industrial heritage?

Question 2

A lot of industrial sites are very large; is it practical to re-use the buildings?

Question 3

Is it possible to truly represent industrial heritage without over romanticism and sanitisation?

Question 4

Does the western view of what heritage is restrict the public view and appreciation of industrial heritage?

Question 5

We are now said to be living in a 'post-industrial' society; what does that say about areas of the world that are major manufacturers now (e.g. China)?

Question 6

Does it matter if heritage exists as tourist attractions & does that demean their importance to society?

Question 7

Can industrial heritage and regeneration really take place together?
