Among These Dark Satanic Mills: Britain’s Industrial Heritage

Description

Y pedwerydd teitl, a’r olaf yng nghyfres John Hannavy o lyfrau yn archwilio gorffennol diwydiannol cyfoethog Prydain. Y tro hwn, cawn archwilio hanes safoni parth amser, twf a thranc y felin, pwysigrwydd calch, cynhyrchu hoelion, nodwyddau ac offer metel bychain, a chreu ‘Cenedl o Berchnogion Siop’.
This is the fourth and final volume of John Hannavy’s series of books exploring Britain’s rich industrial past. This time, we explore the history of standardised time, the rise and demise of the mill, the importance of lime, the manufacture of nails, needles and small metal tools, and the creation of a ‘Nation of Shopkeepers’.
