The Christchurch Fusee Chain Gang is a detailed study of poverty,
survival and bygone trades. With major new discoveries about the
watch industry, and the characters that inhabited the small town of
Christchurch in Dorset, Sue Newman explores the significance of
watch making and other cottage industries that helped to keep the
people of Christchurch out of the clutches of poverty. Have you
ever wondered who invented the first clock or where the idea for
watches came from? If so, this is the book for you. Sue Newman
explores various explanations for the origin of the invention of
the first clock, an accolade that is often attributed to a Pope
named Gerbert in 920AD. The Christchurch Fusee Chain Gang charts
the story of the increasing miniaturization of clocks which
eventually transformed into watches and explores the significance
of the fuse chain and what this industry meant to the inhabitants
of Christchurch.
