This is an important contribution to the new urban history,
describing and analysing one of the best examples of a company town
in nineteenth-century Europe. This archetypal railway town was
built on a green-field site by a railway company in 1842-3. It was
a major junction, an administrative centre and an important
manufacturing centre. Thus it provides an ideal arena in which to
study the relationship between company and people and the effects
of this claustrophobic association on emerging economic and social
structure and politics in the era of large-scale development and
modernisation in Europe and America. Dianne Drummond applies the
full range of modern urban-historical approaches in this work. It
is a shining example of the ways in which new techniques in
research, analysis and comparison can redraw the best-known
histories. It will be essential reading for urban historians.
