While the early modern period has long been recognised as witnessing a growth in trade and consumerism, the majority of studies to date have tended to focus upon London and southern England. In order to provide a more balanced understanding of the dynamics at work on a national level, this book explores the local economy and waterborne trades of Newcastle and the River Tyne, in the north-east of England.

Peter D. Wright is currently Honorary Visiting Fellow at the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, Newcastle University, UK. Based on an extensive experience of cruising in a small boat around the creeks, rivers and coastline of North East England, he developed a fascination for the maritime history and development of the region. When he retired from a career in the NHS in 2003, he pursued this interest in greater depth. He joined the School of History, and in 2011 gained a Doctorate for his reappraisal of the history of the water trades along the lower River Tyne.
