Summary:

"In the 18th century Britain became the first industrial nation and since then the landscapes of industry have come to form an essential part of the scenery and lifestyle. From relatively small beginnings buildings and machine grew to immense proportions and gave rise to whole towns, cities and regions. In what will undoubtedly become regarded as a standard work on the subject, one of Britain's leading authorities on industrial archaeology describes the history of Britain's industries and shows how the industrial landscape developed in all its aspects. The author writes about the life of the people involved and shows how attitudes to industry have changed in the course of time. By drawing from extensive fieldwork and contemporary documents he is able to convey in detail the part played by places and communities in Britain's industrial past. In recreating in the imagination the landscapes of 18th and 19th century industry, Dr Trinder has provided both a substantially authoritative text and a large number of important illustrations that give clear idea of how the industrial landscape was made and has been changed." -- dust jacket.
