The Iron Men: The Workers Who Created the New Iron Age

The eighteenth century saw the second Iron Age. The knife grinders of Sheffield were lucky to reach their 30th birthday before their ruined lungs gave up, women chain makers were described as ‘The White Slaves of England’ and, in a time before health and safety regulations, each advance in technology risked a new kind of deadly accident.
