Britain's Industrial Revolution in 100 Objects (Hardcover)

The period of Britain's Industrial Revolution was perhaps the most transformative era in the nation's history. Between about 1750 and 1914, life and work, home and school, church and community changed irreversibly for Britain's rapidly expanding population. Lives were transformed, some for the better, but many endured abysmal domestic and workplace conditions. Eventually improvements were made to Britain's social fabric which led to the prospect of richer and more fulfilled lives for working men, women and even children. Focusing on 100 objects that either directly influenced, or arose from, these changes, John Broom offers a distinctive insight into this fascinating age. With plentiful illustrations and suggestions for visits to hundreds of places of historical interest, this book makes an ideal companion for a journey into Britain's industrial past.
