Wider social and economic issues are related to the architecture theme so that the buildings are seen in context of the life and vigour of the society that constructed them. The result is a compelling insight into one of the most important communities of Britain's first industrial revolution." 10"h x 7"w) (25cms x 18cms).. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
