Reseña del libro "Wrexham at Work: People and Industries Through the Years (en Inglés)"

Wrexham is the largest town in north Wales and, since 1996, has been the centre of the county borough. There is evidence of settlement and industry in the borough since Roman times. Wrexham's early development took place in the fourteenth century with the establishment of a market and it grew into a small town. The borough has a rich heritage of industry, including coal and lead mining, iron and steel production, and brick and tile making, which developed in the Industrial Revolution. Wrexham town's main industries in the past were brewing and leatherwork, but today it is an administrative, commercial and educational centre. The borough is situated between the Welsh mountains and the lower Dee Valley alongside the English border; the area to the south-east is flourishing agricultural land. 'Wrexham at Work' explores the borough's industrial heritage and the working life of its people from its pre-industrial beginnings to the present day. The author examines how the massive changes in the patterns of work have affected the area. During the late-eighteenth century much of the borough was heavily industrialised. In the last century Wrexham entered the post-heavy industrial world and the author looks at how the borough adapted to these changes.Illustrated throughout, with colour and archive material, this book will appeal to local people and those interested in the industrial heritage of north Wales.
