Summary:

"Michael Stratton and Barrie Trinder show how factories evolved over three centuries and what machinery, structure and ornamentation can tell us about the function and status of particular complexes, as well as about those who built and worked in them. Chapters are devoted to warehouses, engineering works and to model factories of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They reveal how machines were driven - by water, steam or electric power; what methods were used in constructing factories; how social discipline was maintained; the means of transmitting power from generator to machine; and the origins of the industrial estate." "Encompassing over fifteen years of study, this richly illustrated book offers new ways of understanding and appreciating the architecture and technology of our conserved industrial heritage."--Jacket
