Millstone Grit is a captivating fifty-mile journey through the West Riding and East Lancashire, delving into the industrial towns and moors. Glyn Hughes, hailing from the Cheshire countryside, was profoundly struck by the profound impact of industry on the natural world upon relocating to the Pennines. However, over time, he discovered a unique beauty in these landscapes and developed a deep affection for the people who called them home.

In Millstone Grit, the author embarks on a profound exploration of the specific culture of place. The book includes chapters on Methodism and the Luddites, featuring insightful interviews with millworkers and a thoughtful examination of the emergence of an urban working-class consciousness. Hughes' writing is characterized by his keen observance, meticulousness, poetic flair, and directness, making this new edition an enticing opportunity for readers to revisit his captivating vision of the north.
