In the Eighteenth Century Britain became the first industrial nation. From relatively small beginnings buildings and machinery grew to immense proportions and gave rise to whole towns, cities and regions. The author described the history of Britain's industries and shows how the industrial landscape developed in all its aspects. He 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. He describes the landscapes of eighteenth and nineteenth century industry, and provides both a substantially authoritative text and a large number of important illustrations that give a clear idea of how the industrial landscape was made and has been changed.
