Opis

Do they still make Eccles cakes in Eccles and Bakewell tarts in Bakewell? How about all the other products named after places in the British Isles? Many of these are things you can eat such as Arbroath Smokies and Melton Mowbray pork pies, but there are also many non-edible manufactured goods such as Harris tweed and BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) motorbikes named after their place of origin. Some locations are even famous for a tune, poem or a game, such as Adlestrop, Crimond and Rugby.

David Bowers explores the origins and history of an intriguing and eclectic selection of products and their links with the places which have given them a name. The reader is taken on a journey around England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland to those places where the hard work and ingenuity of local people have made the name of their home famous across the world.
