Ulverston: An English Market Town Through History

From the Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution, Roman invasion to wars of religion and world wars, this book tells the history of Ulverston, from pre-history to the 21st century.

Against the back-drop of events in British and world history it shows how a small English market town has responded over the centuries to major religious, social and political upheaval. Helen Shacklady writes with conviction, humour and affection about a town with an identity all its own.
