Life On The Tyne: Water Trades On The Lower River Tyne In The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Centuries, A Reappraisal

While the early modern period has long been recognised as witnessing a growth in trade and consumerism, the majority of studies to date have tended to focus upon London and southern England. In order to provide a more balanced understanding of the dynamics at work on a national level, this book explores the local economy and waterborne trades of Newcastle and the River Tyne, in the north-east of England.
