Hampshire Machine Breakers by Jill Chambers (and signed by Jill Chambers) (Second Hand)

Hampshire Machine Breakers tells the dramatic story of the 1830 riots, when farm labourers rose against the spread of threshing machines and the harsh conditions of rural life. This book brings to life the voices of those who protested, the communities that endured, and the authorities who responded. Richly detailed and deeply researched, it captures the tension between tradition and change, offering a vivid portrait of Hampshire at a turning point in its history. For historians, genealogists, and collectors, it is both a compelling narrative and a vital record of social struggle, preserving the memory of a county in upheaval.
