Product Description
Synopsis
Northamptonshire is renowned for the production of high-quality boots and shoes and its international reputation in the industry is long-standing. Northampton was exporting boots and shoes as early as the 17th century and the industry had spread to other parts of the county by 1850. At the zenith of the British Empire, Northamptonshire manufacturers dispatched huge cargoes of footwear for all climates and terrains to the colonies. Periodically the demands of war also spurred production to new heights and created new markets. This book outlines the evolution of boot and shoemaking in Northamptonshire. It examines the landscapes and buildings created in the service of the industry, highlighting their special qualities and emphasising the importance of conservation and regeneration in preserving the best of the boot and shoe heritage for the future.
