Description

This book examines the work of Tyneside trailblazers from medieval times to the 20th century describing the part they played in a huge range of industries from glassmaking to shipping.

At the beginning of the 19th century, railways represented a cheap and efficient way of transporting coal to ports, one hundred years later they were taking British people, goods and ideas around the globe.

Ever since mankind first used tools there have been far-sighted people who have been determined to find a better way of doing things.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, this progression became so rapid that we call it the Industrial Revolution.

What some people don't realise is that many of these pioneers worked on Tyneside, developing new equipment, experimenting with new materials and introducing new processes to make products faster, cheaper, stronger and more reliable.
