Millstone Grit takes the form of a fifty mile walk through the West
Riding and East Lancashire, exploring the industrial towns and
moors. Glyn Hughes had grown up in the Cheshire countryside but on
moving to the Pennines was deeply shocked by the impact of industry
on the natural world; but over time he found beauty in its special
landscapes and came to love the people who lived in them. In
Millstone Grit the author investigates the specific culture of
place - with chapters on Methodism and the Luddites, interviewing a
millworker, examining the awakening of an urban working-class
consciousness. Hughes is always observant, careful, poetic and
no-nonsense, this new edition will find readers keen to rediscover
his vision of the north.
