Randall, a Shropshire geologist and porcelain painter, tells the history of the parish that cradled the Industrial Revolution: Madeley, Ironbridge, Coalbrookdale and Coalport. He covers Charles II hiding there after Worcester, chimney taxes, the poor law, vagrants and beggars, and the ironworks and china works that made the district famous.
