This book examines the work of Tyneside trailblazers from medieval
times to the 20th century describing the part they played in a huge
range of industries from glassmaking to shipping. At the beginning
of the 19th century, railways represented a cheap and efficient way
of transporting coal to ports, one hundred years later they were
taking British people, goods and ideas around the globe. Ever since
mankind first used tools there have been far-sighted people who
have been determined to find a better way of doing things. In the
18th and 19th centuries, this progression became so rapid that we
call it the Industrial Revolution. What some people don't realise
is that many of these pioneers worked on Tyneside, developing new
equipment, experimenting with new materials and introducing new
processes to make products faster, cheaper, stronger and more
reliable.
