Two hundred years ago the British Isles would have been a serious competitor in any branch of industry, but that situation has gradually changed with the developing world. Now too much of our landscape is littered with disused mines, silent mills, empty factories, and the ruinous remains of once thriving plants. Fortunately, recent trends have been to preserve our industrial heritage and re-package them as working museums to give future generations the opportunity of realising who put the 'Great' into Britain. This volume explores 30 such properties, each article comprising of a colour photograph, an historical overview, and an information panel containing opening times, grid reference, address, telephone number, and web site details (where applicable).
