DRIVEN BY THE DANE
Nine Centuries of Waterpower in South Cheshire and North Staffordshire by Tony Bonson
This book is the result of over twenty years of research into watermills on the River Dane and its tributaries.
Although the area in question is now mainly rural with a smattering of small towns and villages,
in the past it was one of the cradles of the industrial revolution with the power provided by the local rivers and streams
being applied to over 20 different applications. The history of more than 80 waterpowered sites are
described together with details of their buildings and machinery where known.
Information is also included on the people and personalities involved in the building and operation
of these waterpowered industries. |
