Description
The area of England known as the Black Country has a rich heritage in the chain trade due to its plentiful resources of coal and iron.
In the nineteenth century thousands of tons of chain were hand-made here each week.
This book explores the long history and gruelling methods of chain production and delves into the experiences of the men, women and children who spent their lives slaving over dangerous furnaces to produce many varieties and sizes of chain.
