The North East produced coal, iron, steel and ships on an unprecedented scale in the decades before the Great War, a time at which it acquired its image as one of the worlds great export driven industrial economies. However the North East was far from being a single and unified region and its constituent towns and rivers often worked in fierce competition with one another. This book examines those tensions from a political and economic point of view. £50.00
