Description

The Gallows Pole by Benjamin Myers In 18th-century England, a group of weavers and land-workers embark on a criminal enterprise that will shake the foundations of the economy. The Cragg Vale Coiners, led by David Hartley, forge coins, a treasonous offence punishable by death. As the industrial age sets to change the face of England forever, Hartley's empire begins to crumble. Forensically assembled, The Gallows Pole is a true story of resistance and a rarely told alternative history of the North. This meticulously researched novel brings to life a pivotal moment in British history, exploring the tensions between tradition and progress. Winner of the 2018 Walter Scott Prize, The Gallows Pole is a powerful and visceral portrayal of a bygone era.
