Book excerpt: One of the least understood periods of English history is the century following the restoration of Charles II, when England was on the threshold of becoming the first industrialized country in the world. Urban historians of this period have told us much about county towns, cathedral cities and ports but little about the places that were soon to outpace these ancient centres to become our great Victorian cities.
