Birmingham's Industrial Heritage by Ray Shill
Birmingham was a renowned manufacturing centre by the 18th century and the city rapidly grew into the primary industrial centre of the Midlands. An account of Birmingham's heyday of heavy industry is recorded and the story is brought up to date with the story of the decline of heavy industry and its subsequent replacement by design, technology and computing. The proposed redevelopment of Rover's Longbridge site as a science park is symptomatic of this change.
Ray Shill is an industrial and transport historian: he lives in Birmingham. His first book for Sutton Publishing was Birmingham Canals in 1999.
