Hard Cover Full Gloss. Zustand: As New. No Jacket. ### Shire Publication: The Victorian Ironmonger No.32 by Cecil A Meadows 1984 ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified AS NEW, the 1984 edition was published first in 1978. Second edition Published in 1984: Purchased from a private collector in as-new condition. A wealth of ironmongery stock illustrated with descriptions, a fantastic collection and a wonderful history. ## ## Full colour cover, satin finish. Full information where further reading and visiting is available. ## ## THE VICTORIAN IRONMONGER: The Victorian ironmonger's shop was the nineteenth-century equivalent of the modern department store and a vast range of goods. The Victorian housewife would visit the ironmonger if she needed knife-cleaning powder, candles, a saucepan or wallpaper. Other tradespeople relied on the ironmonger for their tools and materials: cheese knives for the grocer, coffin handles for the undertaker, tools for the carpenter and gardener, and even builders' supplies. Installing a kitchen range, gas-fitting, and bell-fitting were also within the ironmonger's repertory. This book describes the Victorian ironmonger's varied stock and also explains the purchase of goods, keeping accounts, giving credit and the prompt delivery service.## ## Cecil A. Meadows was an apprentice in the 1920s to one of the last of Norwich's great furnishing and general ironmongers. The older staff members still remembered the ways of the trade in the nineteenth century, and Mr. Meadows developed a lasting interest in the products. He gave many talks and lectures on the subject and contributed to 'the Eastern Daily Press on bygones and the Hardware Trade Journal. He wrote two other books, Trade Signs and their Origin (Routledge & Kegan Paul) and Discovering Oil Lamps (Shire). ## ## Shire Books by Bloomsbury Publishing, a book publishing company based in London, England, and formerly by Shire Publications Ltd. and Osprey Publishing. Shire offers low-priced, concise non-fiction paperbacks on a wide range of subjects. Shire books cover antiques and collectables, motoring and rural history, archaeology and Egyptology, architecture, industrial history and many other topics.## ## They were founded in 1962 by John Rotheroe, the company based in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire. The first book published by Shire Publications was Discovering East Suffolk, a 24-page guide to the county through a series of five motoring routes and a gazetteer of the main towns and villages. They were given away to visitors via coach operators, local churches and tourist information points. The book was successful, and Shire publishers decided to sell the second edition because free copies were being sold, setting the template for the future of Shire. Over the following years, Shire expanded its Discovering series and launched several new series, including Lifelines, Shire Albums, Shire Archaeology and Shire Egyptology. ## ## In 2008, Shire began a revamp of its list. It announced that the former Shire series, including Life Lines, Shire Garden History and History in Camera, would be absorbed into a new series called Shire Library, which would retain and expand on the numbering system used by the old Album series, which has long formed the backbone of the Shire Library. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.

During Queen Victoria's reign tiles began to be mass-produced for the first time and were used in many public buildings, churches, shops and houses for their functional properties and their decorative effect. Victorian tiles were decorated by a variety of different methods and show a diverse range of subject matter, which makes them appealing to collectors. This book charts the history of Victorian tiles, focusing on the manufacturers, the designers, the decoration techniques, their applications in buildings, and the themes and styles to be found. There is also advice for tile collectors on where to buy, what to look for and how to manage their collection ## ## Hans van Lemmen taught for many years a Leeds Metropolitan University.

These books offer a wealth of information, social history and local history, and other books that aren't available could be lost.

In December 2010, Osprey Publishing, along with all the Shire titles, was acquired by Bloomsbury Publishing. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

Soft Cover Colour Printed Cove. Zustand: As New. No Jacket. ### Shire Publication - Fire-Marks No.2 - by John Vinve 1973 ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified AS NEW, the 1973 edition, first published in 1973. Purchased from a private collector, in as-new condition.Over 200 Fire-Marks illustrated with descriptions, a fantastic collection and wonderful history. ## ##Full colour cover, satin finish. Full information where further reading and visiting is available. ## ## FIRE-MARKS: The concept of insurance against loss or damage by fire originated in the late seventeenth century, prompted, no doubt, by the great suffering caused by the Great Fire of London. In the days before the establishment of municipal fire services, it was natural for Insurance companies to run their fire brigades to keep losses to a minimum. It became the custom during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for the companies to mark insured property with a distinctive 'fire mark' or 'plate', some of which even displayed the policy number. Because of the large number of insurance companies and because they were constantly varying the motif on their fire-marks, there is now a great variety of these attractive and interesting still to be seen on the walls of old buildings?perhaps the sun of the Sun Fire Office is the most familiar?and this book illustrates almost two hundred of them. ## ## Shire Books by Bloomsbury Publishing, a book publishing company based in London, England, and formerly by Shire Publications Ltd. and Osprey Publishing. Shire offers low-priced, concise non-fiction paperbacks on a wide range of subjects. Shire books cover antiques and collectables, motoring and rural history, archaeology and Egyptology, architecture, industrial history and many other topics.## ## They were founded in 1962 by John Rotheroe, the company based in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire.

This mosaic ware is often regarded as Tunbridge Ware per se, though the woodturners of the district had been famed since the seventeenth century ? long before. The invention of the technique. As Tunbridge Wells developed into a fashionable spa with visitors expecting to purchase souvenirs, local craftsmen adapted their wares to suit the taste of their customers; paradoxically, the most revolutionary development in the industry came when the spa was in decline. The book discusses the nature of early Tunbridge ware. It illustrates the various later styles of decoration ? painted and printed wares, marquetry, stickwork, half-square mosaic and the familiar mosaic ware. The many photographs are all from the permanent collection of the Tunbridge Wells Municipal Museum, which holds one of the most representative collections of Tunbridge ware in England. ##.

First published 2003. Reprinted 2006. Glossy laminated coloured cover. No bumping, maybe a minor amount of shelf wear. The spine is tight, and the inside is immaculate. ## ## Number Plates - Registration marks are one of the very few unbroken links between the earliest days of the motor vehicle and the present day. In this book, the lengthy history of the humble British number plate is revealed. The system introduced at the beginning of the twentieth century had a straightforward purpose in identifying the place of origin of motor vehicles providing links to owners. As more and more vehicles came into use, the original system evolved through piecemeal development and sheer necessity to the point where adaptations changed it almost beyond recognition. This book looks back on the evolution of the British number plate, showing how the original, painstakingly developed system was gradually adjusted and modified in the light of escalating traffic growth, becoming riddled with ever more anomalies, until there was no alternative but to make a fresh start, with a brand-new system. ## ### YOU MAY FIND THIS INFORMATION INTERESTING - Read on ## ## This is a new style of the Shire books, much more information, and the binding is in full colour glossy.

These books offer such a wealth of information, social history and local history and pastimes will be forgotten if these and other books are no longer available. Always well-written and researched, and this one is no exception, from the front page to the last lots of photos and drawings to inspire and use as a reference book. ~#~ ~#~ It appears patchwork dates back to the book of Genesis, with Joseph coat of many colours. A very clever way to use old pieces of cloth of different colours and textures to create, not just a pattern but, a piece of useful work, large or small the main object here is to not do it on your own, but in a group, it could I suspect be quite labour and time intensive. A wonderful idea for the winter months where all the family can get involved, planning, cutting square, sowing, making the tea! Great book, wonderful history lesson and a very creative idea.~#~.

These books offer such a wealth of information, social history and local history and pastimes will be forgotten if these and other books aren't available. Always well written and researched, and this one is no exception. We have all grown up with the Ladybird Books, and I know that these marvellous books are still popular read by thousands of children worldwide. ## ### Steam wagons ? steam engines that carry goods on the roads ? developed considerably later than traction engines and steam rollers, which had started to appear in the mid-1860s. With certain exceptions, the abolition in 1896 of the notorious 'Red Flag' Act opened the way for the development of light steam-powered vehicles, initially in the form of vans that could carry a small load. The popularity of these led to the introduction of steam-powered platform trucks before 1900. In the next decade, there were scores of manufacturers trying to establish a foothold in the growing market. ### ### This book tells the story of steam wagons from the earliest designs through to the last models. It explains how they worked and what they did. An informative text is combined with a selection of photographs to illustrate seam wagons both at work in their heyday in the early twentieth century and inaction more recently in the period in which they have become valued historical artefacts. Although steam wagons used were thought not to be belonging to the traction engine world, times have changed, and they now appear alongside traction engines at events all over Great Britain and in other countries. They have their particular devotees, and keen steam wagon drivers sometimes look down and certainly back on drivers of other, rather slower, steam road vehicles. ### #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
