| Abstract: |
Paper presenting an outline, drawn from a number of documentary sources, of the development of the charcoal iron industry in the west Midlands between the magnates of the Elizabethan period and the professional ironmasters of the late-seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The author argues that the period was one of organisational change rather than technological development, such as the amalgamation of ironworks so as to control the charcoal supply in a district, and that firms were fewer in number and operating on a larger scale much earlier than was hitherto suspected. |
