Full Description

Throughout Ireland, we can see the often-derelict remains of our industrial past: distilleries, mills, railways, canals, etc. Ireland was the location of over 180 thriving breweries, 93 railway companies and numerous other industries. This book, by a leading authority, is the first comprehensive survey of Ireland's industrial archaeology. Divided into five main sections, the subject is detailed in nineteen chapters, each dealing with a major industrial activity, its technology and important surviving sites. Fully referenced and illustrated throughout, this will become the standard work on the subject.
