This is the first full-color pictorial survey of the remains of Britain's Industrial Revolution. Its comprehensive range of photographs, specially taken for the book, superbly captures the vigor and excitement of the buildings, machines and transport systems which made Britain the "workshop of the world." It surveys the whole range of 18th, 19th and early 20th-century industrial activity. Its authoritative text and incomparable pictorial record make it an important contribution to the appreciation and preservation of the monuments of our technological past.
