**'A fitting tribute to the greatest county in England' DAVID SWIFT, author of Scouse Republic

Cotton, coal and canals.
Trains, technology and television.
Lancashire has shaped the modern world.**

Liverpool was once the world's busiest port. Manchester powered the industrial revolution and became a symbol of global free trade. Blackpool invented the working-class seaside resort. All three are situated in the historic county of Lancashire: unique, often misunderstood, sometimes maligned - and at the heart of our national story.

In Lancashire, travel writer Chris Moss returns after an absence of four decades. As he visits familiar and unknown corners of his home county, he reaches beyond the cliches to trace lines from the deep past through to the present day.
