'This is a magnificent work that synthesises much unpublished material to cover a largely neglected topic... I have no hesitation in recommending this book to anybody interested in Boulton and Watt, historical manufacturing buildings, power system development or steam engine manufacture.' Chris Allen, International Stationary Steam Engine Society Bulletin '[The Soho Manufactory, Mint and Foundry, West Midlands] clarif[ies] this fascinating story on a comprehensive scale and in a definitive manner, while also indicating new lines of research in the future.' James Douet, Industrial Archaeology Review 'It would be no surprise if the book were a lifetime's work. It is certainly an achievement which the author and Historic England can be proud of in its attention to detail and comprehensiveness.' John Hinchcliffe, Context
