Originally published in 1948, A History of Cast Iron in
Architecture is a comprehensive history of the part that has been
played by cast iron in architecture and the allied arts in Britain.
Any history of the rise and development of the iron-founding
industry becomes virtually a history of the First Industrial
Revolution. Examining the use of cast iron by builders and
architects from late medieval times to the middle of the 20th
Century the authors have also recorded a miniature history of
British Industry. The introduction throws light on the early
developments of iron-founding. The main sections of the book
describe the rise and expansion of the cast-iron industry and its
gradually increasing significance in architecture from 1650 to
1945. There are over 500 illustrations.
