[Rarebooks] FS: 1863 Study of English Victorian Industry & Factory -Tyne &, Wear & Tees Rivers

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“A History of the Trade and Manufactures of the Tyne, Wear, and Tees, 
comprising the papers prepared under the auspices of a committee of 
local industry, and read at the sectional meetings of the British 
Association, 1863”

Published in Newcastle-on-Tyne by M.&M.W. Lambert & London by E.&F.N. 
Spon, in 1863.

The rivers Tyne, Wear and Tees have origins close to each other in the 
North Pennines on the northern slopes of Cross Fell. An important mining 
and industrial area, the railways and Industrial Revolution were 
dramatically expanding commercial and manufacturing opportunities in the 
region in the 19th century. This book, which was published to 
commemorate a trip by the members of the Association to the region, 
includes papers on the manufacture of fire clay goods; glass (including 
plate, crown, flint, bottle and stained glass, and interesting details 
on problems with workmen); and earthenware. Also includes reports on 
iron, steel, coal, lead, aluminum, railways & locomotives, engineering 
manufacturers, iron ship building, chemicals, iron pyrites, prussiate of 
potash, minerals & salts, paper, tanning, and Newcastle's water supply. 
This original 1863 edition is scarce.
