Tipton has been described as the quintessence of the Black Country. In the early nineteenth century its coal mines were said to be 'inexhaustible' & its ironworks 'on a most extensive scale' all served by a dense network of canals. By the end of the 1800s mining & iron making were in decline but manufacturing output continued to grow with a myriad of iron & steel working trades & engineering activities many related to the automotive & electrical industries. All this industrial activity left a scarred landscape with almost a quarter of Tipton's surface being classified as derelict in the late 1940s. Since that time there has been a gradual process of regeneration but the pace increased rapidly in the 1980s when many of the traditional industries closed & their sites were redeveloped for residential use. Tipton Through Time shows how the town has evolved into a new green post industrial landscape. ...

Titanic

In April 1912 the unthinkable happened - the supposedly unsinkable Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg. Or so it was thought. For more than 80 years the drama of the last hours of the Titanic has long fascinated the public. The discovery of the wreck by Dr. Robert Ballard and his team became one of the greatest media events of the late 1980s. However as time passed so evidence has appeared to cast doubt on the accepted wisdom of the great liners fate. In the best-selling The Riddle of the Titanic" Robin Gardiner and co-author Dan Van der Vat shocked the world with their claims that it was not in fact the Titanic but the sister ship Olympic which ended its days amidst the icy waters of the North Atlantic on that fateful night. In "Titanic: The Ship that Never Sank?" Robin
Gardiner goes much further into the scandal of the sinking not only with more evidence on the alleged scam perpetrated by the White Star Line but also with further detail showing the possible collusion of the British government in the cover-up. It is a brilliant read which reveals a fascinating version what really happened on that terrible night and gives fresh evidence which sheds new light on the true circumstances."
