The remains of nearly 2000 of Blackburn's inhabitants were found, buried between 1821 and c 1860. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study of the archaeological, artefactual, and osteological remains sheds light on 19th-century Blackburn, a period where the town was at its peak as one of the industrial powerhouses of northern England. Complimentary historical research into the church and the lives of some of those buried there allow a glimpse of the human side of the industrial revolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe resulting picture shows Blackburn as a place full of prosperity, pollution, poverty, and opportunity, as it rapidly expanded over the course of the century. As one of the first industrialised societies, it forged its own way of life. This book shows it also had a particularly distinctive way of death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Franklin, Matthew Ginnever, Kimberley Gaunt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407356496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407356495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports (Oxford) Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.70d","brand":"Julie Franklin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962348949759,"sku":"9781407356495","price":118.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c559032-c279-43cc-b31c-3a690aaaded3.jpg?v=1750650088","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-and-dying-in-a-julie-franklin-9781407356495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
