Description
The Lads of Enfield Lock is a comprehensive and fascinating history of the apprenticeship scheme at Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) at Enfield Lock, Middlesex in 1816. Compiled from authoritative sources, this story is a unique chronicle of apprentice training in a vital part of Great Britain's industry. In the late-19th and early-20th centuries such activity was central to the country's achievement of world leadership in manufacturing and technology. The book includes many original photographs together with reminiscences by some fifty ex-apprentices who served their time at RSAF between 1920 and 1987.
