Working Lives by David Hall
In the early 1950s Britain was the urbanized and industrialized nation in the world, a global power in shipbuilding and the leading European producer of coal, steel and textiles. This title presents a collection of oral testimonies from workers whose stories might not otherwise have been told.
"Nostalgic and oddly moving.. Hall brilliantly describes the heat and dangers of the weaving sheds and coal mines" Daily Mail "A timely memorial for a nation that loves its pastoral history but struggles with the nobility of the industrial age" Sunday Times
