Britain's Industrial Revolution
This important new book endeavors to explain the industrial revolution throughout the British Isles.
Industrial Heritage Re-tooled
This book comprises the authoritative work from the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage, detailing the latest approaches to and the best practices for the conservation of the global industrial heritage.
The Iron Bridge
The Iron Bridge that spans the River Severn at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire is the most enduring symbol of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1779, the bridge changed forever the lives of the local people, settlement patterns, communication and the economy of the area.
A History of Shropshire
Shropshire extends from the fringes of the Black Country and the Potteries to the high sheep pastures of Clun Forest and the craggy heights of the Stiperstones. It has elegant towns such as Shrewsbury, Wroxeter and Ludlow, castles, canals and iron bridges, in fact it has everything. 'Dr. Trinder has chosen his threads and patterns with care and woven the story of man in Shropshire into a finely-balanced tapestry.' Shropshire Magazine
The Landscape of Industry
An intergrated study, based on the Ironbridge Gorge, which establishes a method for the analysis of complex industrial landscapes.
Beyond the Bridges
Shrewsbury is an archetypal 'city on a hill', the spires and towers of its churches crowning a sandstone bluff that is almost encircled by a horseshoe bend of the River Severn. Suburbs began to grow beyond the town's medieval limits in the mid-18th century. The elegant villas of attorneys were followed by imposing terraces, cluster houses for workers at the Ditherington flax mill, freehold land society estates, terraces occupied by railwaymen, and, in the 20th century, by 'homes fit for heroes' - the 'Dunroamin'-style estates and 'prefabs'. Shrewsbury is an ideal subject for the study of suburbs, being large enough to offer interesting variation, but small enough to have retained most of its suburban heritage.
Religion, Gender, and Industry
Questions have been raised in recent decades about the place of women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in church and society during a time of vast industrial change. These topics are broad, but can be seen in microcosm in one small area of the English Midlands: the parish of Madeley, Shropshire, in which Coalbrookdale became synonymous with the industrial age. Here, the evangelical Methodist clergyman John Fletcher (1729-1785) ministered between 1760 and 1785, among a population including Roman Catholics and Quakers, as well as people indifferent to religion. For nearly sixty years after his death, two women, Fletcher's widow and later her protege, had virtual charge of the parish...
The Making of the Industrial Landscape
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 a clear idea of how the industrial landscape was made and has been changed.
