Description and Table of Contents
Description
In 1879 Edward Pollock opened a pipe works in Manchester that survived for 111 years. This book provides a full exploration not only of one particular family business but also of the clay pipemaking industry in general. The study is based on a wealth of primary evidence including an invaluable paper archive containing letters, advertising material, employee records and the most detailed description of the pipemaking process, as well as original machinery and moulds. The history is supported throughout by drawings of pipes and stamps as well as original archive photographs. Includes a glossary of technical terms.
