Description
The Yorkshire Coiners, 1767-1783: And Notes On Old And Prehistoric Halifax is a historical book written by Henry Ling Roth and originally published in 1906. The book delves into the story of the Yorkshire Coiners, a group of counterfeiters who operated in the West Riding of Yorkshire in the late 18th century. The Coiners were known for producing high-quality counterfeit coins, which they used to defraud merchants and individuals across the region. Roth's book provides a detailed account of the Coiners' operations, including their methods of production, distribution, and eventual downfall. He also explores the social and economic context in which the Coiners operated, shedding light on the poverty and desperation that drove many people to turn to crime. In addition to its focus on the Yorkshire Coiners, the book also includes a section on the history and archaeology of Halifax, a town in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Roth provides a detailed overview of the town's prehistoric and medieval past, as well as its more recent history up to the early 20th century. Overall, The Yorkshire Coiners, 1767-1783: And Notes On Old And Prehistoric Halifax is a fascinating historical work that sheds light on a little-known chapter of British history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of crime, economics, or social history in the 18th century.Illustrated By H. R. Oddy, Thomas Binns, C.
