Review of "Base Lead and Shining Silver"

The book is a glossy paperback by Chris NEWALL, about his HALL family of Middleton-by-Wirksworth and Sheffield 1700-1940. There are 87 A5 pages and the title itself is intruiging, what's the connection between the lump of lead ore and the lovely silver cup on the front cover? The paperback looks good, feels good, is well laid out and easy to read with a large clear font. The story is the slow climb of the family from humble leadmining in Middleton to become successful silversmiths and silver-plate manufacturers in Sheffield. There is an excellent index, and Ebenezer's Will is quite something, 21 pages in which he gave almost everyone some money.

There is a great deal of detail in the book. More to follow when I have had time to read it carefully...
