Download or read book Our Industrial Past written by John Hannavy and published by PiXZ Books. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Industrial Past is a companion to the author¿s 2015 book Britain¿s Industrial Heritage, and is presented in the same format, exploring an eclectic mix of themes covering many aspects of the technologies which powered Britain¿s industrial development. This time John Hannavy explores domestic topics such as `Building Britain¿, `Putting a Roof over our Heads¿, and `All Mod Cons¿ looking at stone masonry, brick-making, slate cutting, the art of the thatcher, the histories of fresh water, flushing toilets, gas lighting and electricity. Maritime themes including `Great Ports and Safe Havens¿, `The Welcoming Light¿ ¿ the story of the lighthouse and lightship ¿ and the fishing industry pay tribute to the importance of Britain as a sea-faring nation, while finally, `The Arms Industry¿ explores the defence of Britain on land, sea and in the air, from the Mary Rose to the 1960s. The great weapons systems developed in the early years of the 20th century get special mention ¿ the world¿s first tank was built in Lincoln just over a century ago in 1915. Once again, a detailed Gazetteer at the end of the book lists many of the visitor attractions which preserve and celebrate our history and the book is illustrated with an engaging mix of John Hannavy¿s own original photography and historic photographs and postcards of these industries at their peak.

Download or read book How to Read Industrial Britain written by Tim Cooper and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-08-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From steam engines and suspension bridges to canals, factories and pubs, the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries transformed the social and material landscape of Britain. Yet how many of us know why our local pub looks the way it does or why a railway station might resemble a cathedral? This book reveals how, by 'reading' buildings, structures and townscapes, we can understand their context and significance for the society that created them. Author Tim Cooper uses themes including transport, education and religion to show how the geographical and architectural remains of industrial Britain have shaped us as a people. He sheds light on how and why the pioneers of the Industrial Revolution redesigned our towns and countryside, and draws on a wealth of British sites to explain, for instance, how canals were instrumental in the expansion of industry, or why affluent suburbs are usually situated in the west end of a town. This book is a joy for anyone wanting to investigate our industrial heritage and discover the secret history behind familiar, everyday features of our urban and rural landscapes.

Download or read book New Perspectives on Welsh Industrial History written by Louise Miskell and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2019-12-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume tells a story of Welsh industrial history different from the one traditionally dominated by the coal and iron communities of Victorian and Edwardian Wales. Extending the chronological scope from the early eighteenth- to the late twentieth-century, and encompassing a wider range of industries, the contributors combine studies of the internal organisation of workplace and production with outward-facing perspectives of Welsh industry in the context of the global economy. The volume offers important new insights into the companies, the employers, the markets and the money behind some of the key sectors of the Welsh economy – from coal to copper, and from steel to manufacturing – and challenges us to reconsider what we think of as constituting ‘industry’ in Wales.
