Description for Lost Industries of the Tyne
Paperback. Lost Industries of the Tyne explores the dangerous and dirty trades that, over many centuries, made Tyneside the workshop of the world: shipbuilding, glass, pottery, salt, chemicals, iron and steel, ropes, cables, flour, grindstones and much much more. They all depended on coal, and the river Tyne - the superhighway to everywhere else. Num Pages: 144 pages, 150 black and white photos, maps, engravings. BIC Classification: 1DBKEYN; HBTK; WQH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 206 x 205 x 10. Weight in Grams: 436.
From railway engineering to shipbuilding, from iron and steel to rope making, and from pottery to glassworks, for many centuries the banks of the River Tyne steamed, smoked, clanged, banged and bustled with industry of all kinds. Most industries depended on coal, the black diamonds of North East England, for the import of raw material, and the export of goods. With an introduction by industrial archaeologist Professor Stafford Linsley, the authors of Lost Industries of the Tyne explore some of these vanished trades, and working lives that have gone forever. Nostalgia for such dangerous, dirty and often poisonous occupations ... Read more
