— A Derbyshire ironworks and its people. Written by two former employees (both published authors), this extensive history of the site is mainly told by the people who worked there and supplemented by newspaper reports and many photographs. This is history at the sharp end with tales told by the people who were intimately involved in the events described — tales that would not normally appear in more academic papers. Foreword by local lad, actor Robert Lindsay.
