This volume explores the history of England's northern borders - the former counties of Northumberland, Cumberland, Durham, Westmorland and the Furness areas of Lancashire - across 1000 years. The 17th century brought prosperity, and the North East grew into a hub of industrial Britain.
Based on several years work on sources, this book describes the origin, organization and activities of the Anti-Corn League, together with its effect on the contemporary political scene. It provides an analysis of a political pressure group, making it an addition to literature for historians, economic historians, and students of political science.
