Marchon: The Whitehaven Chemical Works

Alan W. Routledge
£12.99

For more than half a century the tall chimneys of Marchon dominated the skyline above Whitehaven. Whilst some people may not have considered them pretty, to those who worked in the factory the steam and smoke pouring out of the chimneys was a welcome sight. It meant their jobs were safe and at the end of the week they would pick up a decent pay packet.

Slate From Coniston

Alastair Cameron
£13.99

Second impression. A history of the Coniston slate industry, although the author makes no apologies for the fact that he occasionally strays from the topic of 'slate' to one of the village in general. The history of the industry is inseparable from the history of the village. The culture and personality of the village is as unique as the volcanic slate extracted from its hills.
