Illustrated with more than fifty photographs, this book traces the development of Brassington, from its prehistoric origins as a small farming settlement, to the time when it was controlled by extravagant Roman landowners and pillaged by fierce Scandinavian warriors, through to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when it became a prosperous centre for the lead-mining industry.
