Reviews
A worthwhile survey of economic change since 1800, and its effects on the people and the landscape of Northamptonshire. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *
This VCH volume with its authoritative contributors, its painstaking notes, relevant illustration, amps and index is a most important contribution to the County's history. * LOCAL HISTORY MAGAZINE *
Will serve as an invaluable source of information and of references to follow up in further study. * LANDSCAPE HISTORY *
Breaks new ground for VCH. Its more traditional focus upon topography [.] is convincingly superseded here by a countywide thematic and chronological survey of urban and rural development, infrastructure, industries and modern services from 1800 to the present. * . *
For those seeking an authoritative yet accessible account of Northamptonshire's development during the last two centuries it is difficult to recommend a more comprehensive, balanced and worthy account than this. * URBAN HISTORY *
