Description

The Wealden Iron Industry by Jeremy Hodgkinson explores the history and archaeology of an area whose iron industry was of international importance. For two periods of British history, the Weald of south-east England was the most productive iron-producing region in the country. Despite its tranquil appearance today, 400 years ago nearly 100 furnaces and forges operated in the area, producing iron cannon used in many naval campaigns, including the Spanish Armada and The Seven Years' War. This book draws on local evidence to examine the development of iron-producing technology during this time. The economy of the region was dominated by the production of iron and its raw materials, providing employment and generating prosperity, and shaping the landscape irrevocably.
