Description:  ‘Clive Carter’s Cornish Engineering 1801-2001, was published to mark the bi-centenary of Camborne’s Holman Brothers company. Since then a great deal of new material has emerged and the company itself has ceased to exist. The time now seemed right for a new and completely revised edition, prepared by Peter Joseph, which brings the story up to date. This contains a great deal of new information and takes the reader to the closure of the company and the demolition of its sites.

The new book also contains chapters on the choirs and sports club as well as the related companies Climax, Broom Wade and Reavell. The book also contains over 150 new photographs, many never previously published, and reproductions of the Terence Cuneo paintings and pencil sketches from Holman Brother’s privately published 1951 history.’ (Cover blurb).
