Description

Book and jacket in as new condition. 347pp. An in-depth detailed study of Manchester in the years 1770 to 1870 when surging population growth was accompanied by an unprecedented demand for food. The author traces the supplies of basic foods in connection with transport development and other distribution systems. He then looks at the markets and food retailing and finally at the quality of the food produced and how it improved and the huge social gains from a more assured system of supply. Scarce.
