DOWNLOAD EBOOK →From a farming background in Cumbria, John Wilkinson's remarkable abilities and ambitions ensured his rise to pre-eminence among the gifted pioneers of the industrial revolution. His colleagues and friends were similarly talented characters, including James Watt, Josiah Wedgwood, Richard Crawshay of Cyfartha, and Thomas Telford.Wilkinson achieved great leaps in the iron industry and munitions, including the first use of sound castings and accurate boring for cannon manufacture, as well as developing steam railway engines, waterways, and also in copper refining and lead and chemicals. But while Wilkinson's technological triumphs were admired by contemporaries, his personal affairs were complicated and sometimes tragic. This well-informed and readable book gives a unique insight into the character and thinking of this formidable king of the ironmasters.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →John Wilkinson was an Eighteenth Century Ironmaster and pioneer in the early Iron Industry that was to begin the period known as The Industrial Revolution. Known to his contemporaries as "Iron Mad Wilkinson" he produced the components for the steam engine of James Watt, which would not have worked without Wilkinson's expertise. Wilkinson was one of the principal subscribers to the project that built the world's first Iron Bridge, in Shropshire and his gun casting technique revolutionised gun making for the Royal Navy. A religious Dissenter at a time when such were viewed with great suspicion, he nevertheless created iron making businesses that traded successfully in England and on the continent of Europe.
