The History of Water Power in Ulster
- The History of Water Power in Ulster
- The Industrial Archaeology of the British Isles
- The gaunt, roofless mill buildings beside so many Irish streams, their dilapidated waterwheels and gaping windows, are too often put down to 'the Danes', 'the English','the Rebellion', or 'the Troubles'. They mark, infact , a stage in industrial development, and their existence prompts deeper questions. Why were they built on their present sites, and what change in the economic climate led to their abandonment?
- This is the regional study of the water power stage in industrial development, a stage of particular significance to Ireland because of her lack of native coal. Features peculiar to an economy with its own geographical, political and social entity are here isolated and examined against a background of knonw development in Great Britain. A wide range of industries is covered, from corn and textiles to electricity, and a full bibliography is supplied.
