The archaeology of industrialisation and the textile industry: the example of Manchester and the south-western pennine uplands during the 18th century (part 1)
Journal Article
Nevell, M. The archaeology of industrialisation and the textile industry: the example of Manchester and the south-western pennine uplands during the 18th century (part 1). Industrial Archaeology Review, 30(1), 33-48. https://doi.org/10.1179/174581908X285110

Between the early 18th century and the mid-19th century the north-west of England was turned from a relatively impoverished backwater to one of the major industrialisation zones in the world. This is thus a key region fopr understanding the archaeolo...
