The Book
Many years ago I bought my first two Dartmoor books William Crossing’s Guide to Dartmoor and Helen Harris’s The Industrial Archaeology of Dartmoor. Both publications still stand on my bookshelves, both publications at well work and loved.
The Industrial Archaeology of Dartmoor was first published in 1968 by David and Charles, but the edition that these posts are based on came out in 1973.
Helen Harris’s book was an important advance in the subject of industrial archaeology. Its format, content and accessible style brought the amazing richness of Dartmoor’s industrial history to a wide audience.
