Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Industrial Revolution left Britain with an unrivalled legacy of remarkable buildings, treasured countryside landmarks and a rich tapestry of mechanical relics, yet how many of us are able to interpret their purpose or origin?

How to Read Industrial Britain explains:

- the historical significance of the Industrial Revolution

- where to look for evidence of the industrial heritage that is all around us

- how to 'read' the symbolic architecture of industrialisation - from canals to factories and mills to railways

This absorbing book provides a fascinating guide to our unique heritage and to understanding its visible remains.
