This series, fully illustrated with maps and half-tones, is written
for general readers as well as the student. In illuminating the
anonymous lives of our predecessors it will, when complete,
substantially enrich our understanding of the many histories which
together make up the history of England. This authoritative volume
surveys the modern history of the counties of Lancashire,
Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Cheshire. In 1540 this was a
backward area, poor, underpopulated and conservative. During the
seventeenth and early eighteenth century the spread of the first
cottage industries to the mills and the mines transformed the
region into one of the engines of Britain's nineteenth-century
greatness. The causes, the costs and the consequences of that
transformation are vividly portrayed in this very readable text.
Offers a succinct account and analysis of the first region to
experience the developed factory system. Discusses the rise,
dominance and decline of the region which has parallels across the
country and the world. Provides essential background text for the
students of local history. Assumes no previous knowledge of the
region.
