Unknown Author

4.9/5 (34281 ratings)

Description:For 800 years the Leylanders had clustered around their medieval village cross, but all this changed rapidly after 1870 when the town embarked on nearly a century of phenomenal growth. One of the stars of the Second Industrial Revolution, Leyland became a world leader in both the rubber and motor vehicle industries and––prospering through two world wars––full employment was the norm. Optimism peaked in the postwar years, but the 1970s saw the beginning of the collapse of large scale industry in Britain, the half century of inertia which choked town center development plans and led to the progressive and irreversible demolition of the district. By 1990 Leyland Cross was presiding over a semi-derelict wasteland before the investment and redevelopment of the mid 1990s began a steady recovery from the days of stark economic readjustment. Leyland Then and Now traces the story of these developments through a wonderful collection of old photographs, which are compared and contrasted with modern equivalents, unveiling amazing changes and unexpected similarities.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
