The first intensive study of an industrial community in early modern England. Whickham, a village built on an underground mountain of coal in the north-east, was arguably Britain's first modern industrial society. The authors explore life in Whickham between 1560 and 1765 to assess the benefits and costs of the complex process of industrialization.
