HISTORY OF LINCOLNSHIRE (PB)

The historic county of Lincolnshire, stretching from the Humber in the north to the Wash, was for more than a millennium the second largest in England; it remains one of the foremost areas in the country for arable farming. Topics include the Grimsby fishing industry, the coming of the railways and steelmaking at Scunthorpe, and the county at war contrasted with the leisure activities at Skegness and Mablethorpe. This is the essential reference book for the local historian, as well as for the general reader, resident or visitor.
