Discover the dramatic evolution of Barrow during the 19th and into the 20th century, as scattered rural hamlets rapidly combined into a thriving industrial town. This compelling narrative traces the forces - economic, social and geographic - that shaped Barrow's meteoric growth, and examines the profound impact of population surges on its surrounding landscapes. Featuring rarely seen maps, documents, and archival photographs, this volume offers a window into a pivotal era of transformation.
