In the ''Ripple Series'', the author moves away from the lengthy reference style publications to give a more brief, story approach to the town''s history. This is the first book of the series and covers a broad spectrum of accounts over several thousand years, from early man passing through from the continent as they hunted, through to coal and the industrial revolution and the part it played in shaping the landscape.
