The Crowthers of Bankdam (The Crowther Chronicles)

The Crowthers of Bankdam is the story of a great Yorkshire wool-trade family, fascinating in their individualities, their matchings, matings and schemings. It opens in 1854 when Simeon Crowther was the Master of the Bankdam Mills, then a small concern, and ranges over the lives of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the triumphs and disasters of the wool business and the impact of history. This book was filmed in 1947 with great success as The Master of Bankdam.
