Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history of Sunderland, known as Sunderland-by-the-Sea, from its origins in the 12th century to the dawn of the 20th. The town grew from a small monastic settlement on the River Wear to one of England's major shipbuilding and manufacturing hubs. During the Victorian era, its population surged from 14,000 to 140,000 due to its role in the Industrial Revolution. The author traces how such rapid growth had a huge impact on the physical landscape and social fabric of Sunderland. The book is particularly strong on detailing the lives of prominent local figures. Local characters such as Dicky Chilton, born in the 18th century, are vividly brought to life. He was an eccentric local character and an acknowledged authority on questions of ancient usages of the town. The author has extensively consulted local archives and newspapers to provide rich detail of the everyday lives of ordinary people.
