Merseyside Town in the Industrial Revolution

T.C. Barker (Author), Professor J R Harris (Author)

• This book is an outstanding product of St Helens, as remarkable in its way as sheetglass and Beechams pills. It is the first full scale nineteenth century history of a small industrial town as distinct from the bigger and better known cities. It deserves to be very widely read and studied." Asa Briggs
