From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Peter King. I live in the English Midlands.

I have spent many years researching the history of the iron industry, periodically straying into related subjects, including other metals. I have a doctorate in economic history based on an unpublished thesis, 'The iron trade in England and Wales 1500-1815: the charcoal iron industry and its transition to coke'. I have also written (and had published) about 20 academic articles.

I have recently been working on books on transport history and Water mills and water power. Peterkingiron 21:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
