Archidustrial is a small publisher founded by Nick Haseltine, an architect with a long-standing interest in the connections between industrial architecture and landscapes, cartography and mapping, and social and community history.

From an early age, Nick was fascinated by the industrial environment around him—studying old maps, watching ships move through the local harbour, and exploring the dominant silhouettes of pit wheels and power stations across nearby coalfields and coastal marshlands. These early observations developed into a wider interest in industrial history and design, and in understanding how industrial buildings and infrastructure not only supported economic activity but also became an integral part of both local identity and a broader social history.

Through Archidustrial’s publications, using photography, drawings, and prints, each project seeks to record and share the character, history, and continuing significance, and often fast disappearing, landscapes in the UK, Germany, and the USA.

Walton Street Writers is a writing group founded by Sara Banerji. We meet regularly to share our writing, and thoughts on life, americanos and flat whites. We aim to be helpful to each other, and offer observations in an open and uncritical way. We have published several anthologies including Tales from a Bookshop, Tales from a Café, and most recently, Côte Tales (2024) which you can find on Amazon.

Writers whose work features in Côte Tales:

Anne Harrap, Catherine Hurst, Charles Bidwell, Harold Roffey, J.M Kennedy, Jane Spiro, Jenny Burrage, Keith McClellan, M.S. Clary, Neil Hancox, Sara Banerji, Valerie Dearlove and Simon Howard.

Additional members of Walton Street Writers not mentioned above are Maria Armero, Carol Lange, Sheila Johnson and Julie Dyson.

Several members have published novels, memoirs and poetry, and collections of their own stories.

The Little Review is the pocket magazine for anyone interested in poetry.

Printed three times a year in bright yellow covers, each mischievous little issue includes a mix of poem and stories, impertinent interviews, irreverent essays and bracingly honest book reviews.

Our writers include Colm Tóibín, Patricia Lockwood, Luke Kennard, Lucy Ellmann, Anthony Vahni Capildeo and Karen Solie. Founded in 2025, The Little Review is sold in more UK bookshops than any other magazine dedicated to poetry.

WarmPorch Publishing is a very small, independent, labour of love.

In one form or another, I have been involved in publishing for almost twenty-five years, from setting up an independent music magazine (Sandman Magazine) in Sheffield to my current work at Oxford University Press.

WarmPorch was initially created to publish some extracts from my grandmother’s journals, The Search for Freeland Gardens [2009]. This small book (also now our first ebook) covered the arrival of my family, 50 years previously, to open a nursery garden in a small West Oxfordshire village.

In recent years I have been working with the sculptor Steve Hurst, using his diaries and sketchbooks to tell the story of the young artist. In 2022, Drawn From Life: The Ruskin Diaries 1949-53, was the first full length WarmPorch book and this year we published the follow-up, Bluff Road: The Malaya Diaries 1953-1955, covering Steve’s experiences as a national serviceman during the Malayan Emergency.

Looking further ahead, my grandmother wrote her journals between 1931 and 1974, and they track the author’s life from a shy teenager about to embark on her nursing training during the early years of the Depression, to the older, hardy, market gardener contemplating retirement. Ideally I’d like to publish three volumes of these journals. The entire text has been transcribed (about 1.3 million words); the next task is to edit them down.
