The Association was founded in 1889, but the minutes for the first five years are missing, as are those for 1901-10. Beginning with meetings held on the eve of the first national strike by Scots miners in 1894 and ending with an adjourned meeting on the day after the First World War ended, the minutes refer to many contemporary aspects of economic, social, industrial, political and labour history. With a substantial introduction and notes. No jacket Furness Iron and Related Woodland Industries of Furness and Southern Lakeland Mark Bowden (Edited by) English Heritage 2000 90 pages paperback Illustrated 1873592477 278x218mm Published Price £9.95 Our Price £4.99 Furness and neighbouring parts of southern and western Cumbria had a lively and significant iron industry in the 18th and 19th centuries that had grown from a tradition of ironworking stretching back to the medieval period and probably much earlier. Unlike the similar iron-rich regions, Furness has not received the attention it deserves as a cradle of this vital industry. This book presents an illustrated record of the physical remains of the area's iron industry and its supporting woodland industries, both standing buildings and archaeological field monuments. Anybody who bought these at the full price must feel as sick as a parrot :-) Cheers - Tony Oldham Duncavin 1 Riverside Mews CARDIGAN SA43 1DH United Kingdom http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/~arb/speleo/guides.html http://www.showcaves.com http://www.mike.munro.cwc.net/mining/tony_o/tonyo_hp.htm http://www.showcaves.com/foreign/Big/F003-003.jpg _________________________________________________________________ Exclusive Ed Byrne daily comedy clips on MSN Video http://specials.uk.msn.com/edbyrne/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.
