In 1974 Essex Record Office published John Booker’s ground breaking Essex and the Industrial Revolution. This highlighted the fact that significant industrial activity was going on in Essex, and not just those areas of the country traditionally associated with the Industrial Revolution, such as Ironbridge. To mark the 50th anniversary of its publication, Essex Record Office is running a series of short talks on various aspects of the industrial past of the county as well as celebrating this significant anniversary.
This event is run in conjunction with the Essex Society for Archaeology & History, Essex Industrial Archaeology Group, and Anglia Ruskin University. It is hoped that John Booker will be able to present one of the talks.
