Description
The Collins Press, 2006, Hardback.
The first comprehensive survey of Ireland’s industrial archaeology. Throughout Ireland we can see the often-derelict remains of our industrial past: distilleries, mills, railways and canals. Ireland was once the location of over 180 thriving breweries, 93 railway companies and numerous other industries. 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 is the standard work on the subject.
