How does an industrial community cope when they are told that
closure is inevitable? What if this is only the last in a 200 year
long line of threats, insecurities and closure? How did people
weather the storms and how do they face the future now? While
attempts to regenerate communities are everywhere, we do not often
hear from the people themselves just how they managed to create
safe collective spaces or how the fall of the whole house of cards
brought with it effects which can be felt by young people who never
knew the town when it was an industrial heartland. We hear the
story of how men and women tried to cope and still want to retain
their community in the face of its destruction. What can they and
will they have to pass to the next generation and where will that
leave the young people themselves, who have nothing to stay for but
are unable to leave? This book examines these crucial questions
facing post-industrial societies.
