This important new book endeavours to explain the true nature of the Industrial Revolution in every part of the British Isles, including Scotland and Ireland. Prominent, of course, are those districts which witnessed the greatest economic and social change, such as Manchester, Birmingham, the Ironbridge Gorge, Leeds, South Wales, the Central Belt of Scotland, and the East End of London. Yet it also shows how even the sleepiest of sleepy hollows could be affected by industrial development, as in the availability of coal and iron, cheaper consumer goods, and the transformation of transport services. The Industrial Revolution affected everyone. The book is in three main parts: Part I looks at enabling technologies such as energy, machine making and transport; PartII deals with manufacturing industry itself; and Part III looks at industry and society in the booming new towns of the age.
