Trouble at Mill

Trouble at Mill:

A brief history of the former Liberty Print Works site, including Textile printing at Merton Printers Ltd (Libertys) 1965-1982

by David Luff

David started work at Merton Printers Ltd in January 1965, and completed the last-ever print-run at the Merton Abbey Works before it closed in December 1982. In this book David traces the early industrial history of the site, and then takes us on a personal tour of the production processes, introducing us to many of the personalities along the way. This unique view 'from the shop floor' makes fascinating reading, and the abundance of photographs, diagrams and plans complement the text perfectly.
