Description
This volume is concerned mainly with the industrial history of Staffordshire.
It not only includes a full treatment of pottery and other major industries such as mining, engineering and the various metal trades, but also deals with the textiles of Leek, the boots and shoes of Stafford, the sadd-lery of Walsall, and the beer of Burton.
Other industries include quarrying, glass-making, saltworking and brickmaking.
An important allied topic is the developmentof communications, and chapters are de-voted to the history of roads, canals and railways.
The volume also includes an account of the forests of Staffordshire, notably Cannock, Kinver and Needwood.
Finally there are chapters on the major sports of the county-foxhunting, horse-racing, cricket, and football.
