Lancashire's Industrial Archaeology
This book summarizes, for the first time, a decade of archaeological excavation and fieldwork on the industrial archaeology of Lancashire – from the early 18th century to the mid-20th century. This work has changed our understanding of the Industrial Revolution in Lancashire, whose origins can now be seen to lie in the post-medieval period and whose impact extended well beyond the mill towns, canals, and railways that dominate the popular view of industrial Lancashire. This work will look at Liverpool and the coast ports, Manchester and its satellite cotton towns, the extractive industries, transport infrastructure, and life in the new industrial towns. As the first industrial society, Lancashire set a model for others to follow. To understand the modern world, first you have to understand industrial Lancashire.
Manchester

Individual papers raise complex and challenging issues, such as commemoration, identity, and political intervention. A further aim of the volume is to illustrate the role of professionals a...
Manufacturing the Cloth of the World
This well illustrated book is the first comprehensive study of the weaving sector of the Lancashire cotton industry to be published. The focus is on the development of weaving mills against the background of the economic development and organisation of the industry. Hand loom weaving was carried out in domestic premises or small workshops. Early power looms were installed in multi-storey mills combined with spinning, the characteristic form of single storey shed with north-light roof used solely for weaving developing later. The construction, power systems and layout of these mills are considered in detail. The book is based on original research looking at both the mills themselves and documentary sources, including plans and company records.
Visionary Religion and Radicalism in Early Industrial England
Early industrial England witnessed significant interactions between millenarianism and traditions of radical popular politics, including the first English socialisms. This book provides a detailed archive-based study of Southcottianism from 1815 to 1840 that revises many previous assumptions about this popular millenarian movement.
