Changing methods of production, the development of specialised buildings, the introduction of new structural techniques alongside traditional methods and the utilisation of different sources of power are all evident in the industry's buildings. The book also looks beyond the mill itself to study how the textile industry influenced the landscape and the development of communities." -back cover.
