With major new discoveries about the watch industry, and the characters that inhabited the small town of Christchurch in Dorset, Sue Newman explores the significance of watch making and other cottage industries that helped to keep the people of Christchurch out of the clutches of poverty. Have you ever wondered who invented the first clock or where the idea for watches came from? If so, this is the book for you. Sue Newman explores various explanations for the origin of the invention of the first clock, an accolade that is often attributed to a Pope named Gerbert in 920AD. The Chain Gang charts the story of the increasing miniaturisation of clocks which eventually transformed into watches and explores the significance of the fuse chain and what this industry meant to the inhabitants of Christchurch.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49529925796113,"sku":"GOR003876039","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49996722798865,"sku":"GOR010536114","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51317360328977,"sku":"GOR004453331","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53430913597713,"sku":"GOR006395761","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184868441X.jpg?v=1777714604"},{"product_id":"christchurch-through-time-book-sue-newman-9781848683587","title":"Christchurch Through Time","description":"Christchurch Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the country.

Some of the outlying villages, historically connected with the town, including Mudeford, Highcliffe and Walkford, Hinton, Burton and Winkton, are also featured.  The photographs, which come from a variety of local sources, are enhanced by carefully researched captions which draw on the knowledge of other local historians and residents and also the now sadly defunct local newspaper, the Christchurch Times. We relive and experience events and times never addressed before in pictorial form. Particular focus is given to the town's experiences in two world wars, the ever-changing appearance of the streets and buildings, and also to events such as the notable visits of the then future King Edward VII and the Kaiser.  This book will evoke memories for many and serve as a nostalgic record for all those who love and know this town well.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49655869079825,"sku":"GOR001736560","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0752410504.jpg?v=1761386476"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-sue-newman.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
