seen by well-known local historian John Turner, author of over 12 books

and cedar getting, growth was rapid with the arrival of the AA company,
rail and other industries. Newcastle's development into one of Australia's
major industrial cities is brilliantly documented with text and photographs.
The book includes the development of suburbs and the emergence of the working,
middle and upper classes according to their position in commerce and industry.
Concludes in the 1980s.
Written by John Turner. 144 pages, black & white. A4 format.
