This volume is concerned mainly with the industrial history of
Staffordshire. It not only includes a full treatment of pottery and
other major industries such as mining, engineering and the various
metal trades, but also deals with the textiles of Leek, the boots
and shoes of Stafford, the sadd-lery of Walsall, and the beer of
Burton. Other industries include quarrying, glass-making,
saltworking and brickmaking. An important allied topic is the
development of communications, and chapters are de-voted to the
history of roads, canals and railways. The volume also includes an
account of the forests of Staffordshire, notably Cannock, Kinver
and Needwood. Finally there are chapters on the major sports of the
county-foxhunting, horse-racing, cricket, and football.
