The Little History of Lancashire covers the historic county which used to stretch from Coniston Water in the Lake District in the north to the River Mersey in the south. From the formation of the countys terrain in the Ice Age and its earliest occupation by the Celts, we enter history with the Roman occupation. The Normans arrived to form the county that played a major part in the turbulent period of the civil war. The Georgian and Victorian periods saw the Industrial Revolution in Lancashire shape the future of the country and beyond. Lancashire became the most important manufacturing and exporting centre in the land. But the rise of king cotton and its fall led to a traumatic outcome and the present day. All these themes are highlighted in an easy to read, concise and entertaining narrative which helps you to understand the historical importance of the county.

The employment of female labour on farms during two world wars was essential to replace thousands of men who relinquished agricultural jobs to join the armed forces.Land girls, the majority of them from urban districts, maintained supplies of grain, horticultural products and livestock, succeeding in overcoming substantial reductions in food imports caused by disruptive enemy action to the pattern of shipping trade.Hampshire played a major part in the national selection, training and placing of land girls on farms. They undertook hard, physical work in all weathers for many hours a day, often a long way from home. It is generally agreed that Womens Land Army members received inadequate recognition for their valuable contributions.Seventy-five years after the final disbandment of the Womens Land Army, this book intends to correct that deficiency and shed light on its invaluable work.

Hertfordshire is full of stories. The countys proximity to London attracts the great, the good and those less so: Hertfordshire was once home to saints such as St Alban, St Thomas More and the only English Pope, Nicholas Breakspear. Such virtuous figures pose a sharp contrast to those involved in the Hertford elections of time gone by, which were once declared the most corrupt in the country!It is no secret that Elizabeth I became queen at Hatfield House in south Hertfordshire but did you know that her father, Henry VIII, fled a plague-ridden London to a nearby village while waiting for his first divorce to come through? And that just around the corner, 400 years later, engineers were secretly developing the bombers that helped win the Second World War?There are so many tales to be told about this amazing county that it is impossible to squeeze them all between these covers but open The Little Book of Hertfordshire at any time or any place and you can expect to be amused, entertained and intrigued.
