Industrial Britain is a tale of industrial development, but it is also a story of its eventual decline. As manufacturing has been gradually replaced by services, new uses have been discovered for some of the country's iconic industrial buildings. These buildings have found new life as containers for art and heritage, such as the Bankside Power Station (Tate Modern) and Salts Mill. Other buildings, such as Smithfield Market in London and the Shepherd Neame brewery in Faversham, continue to serve their original purpose today.
Illustrated with over 200 original line drawings, Industrial Britain serves as a celebration of industrial architecture and its lasting impact. This comprehensive guide offers a valuable glimpse into the architectural and engineering marvels that shaped Britain's industrial landscape, providing a deeper understanding of the nation's economic and social history.
