Description - Footprints of Industry by Sir Neil Cossons

20 papers from a conference called in celebration of the 300th anniversary of Abraham Darby's successful attempt to smelt iron ore using coke in 1709, which focus on processes of industrialization. The papers are on three broad topics: metallurgy; the wider social and environmental 'footprints' of industrialization; and the ways in which the heritage of industrialization is managed and interpreted today. Running as a constant thread through all of these areas is the role which Ironbridge has played both in the past and in the present.
