Among These Dark Satanic Mills

This is the fourth and final volume of John Hannavy's series of books exploring Britain's rich industrial past. This time, we explore the history of standardised time, the rise and demise of the mill, the importance of lime, the manufacture of nails, needles and small metal tools, and the creation of a 'Nation of Shopkeepers'. And with the author's long career as a photographic historian, the final chapter explores how the 'new art' of photography captured the evolution of Britain as a great industrial power.
