The Southampton brokage books are the best source for English
inland trade before modern times . Internal trade always matched
overseas trade. Between 1430 and 1540 the brokage series records
all departures through Southampton's Bargate, the owner, carter,
commodity, quantity, destination and date, and many deliveries too.
Twelve such years make up the database that illuminates
Southampton's trade with its extensive region at the time when the
city was at its most important as the principal point of access to
England for the exotic spices and dyestuffs imported by the
Genoese. If Southampton's international traffic was particularly
important, the town's commerce was representative also of the
commonplace trade that occurred throughout England. Seventeen
papers investigate Southampton's interaction with Salisbury,
London, Winchester, and many other places, long-term trends and
short-term fluctuations. The rise and decline of the Italian trade,
the dominance of Salisbury and emergence of Jack of Newbury, the
recycling of wealth and metals from the dissolved monasteries all
feature here. Underpinning the book are 32 computer-generated maps
and numerous tables, charts, and graphs, with guidance provided as
to how best to exploit and extend this remarkable resource. An
accompanying web-mounted database (http://www.overlandtrade.org)
enables the changing commerce to be mapped and visualised through
maps and trade to be tracked week by week and over a century.
Together the book and database provide a unique resource for
Southampton, its trading partners, traders and carters, freight
traffic and the genealogies of the middling sort.
