"The Industrial History of England" by Henry de Beltgens Gibbins is a historical account written in the late 19th century.

Gibbins connects industrial and economic developments with social, political, and military movements, highlighting their interrelationship and significance in shaping English history. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the context of England's industrial history, starting with the period before the Norman Conquest. It discusses the Roman influence on Britain, noting their contributions in developing agriculture and trade. Following the Roman departure, the text explores the subsequent decline in trade and the effects of the Anglo-Saxon period on local economies, emphasizing the isolation of communities and their self-sufficiency. The narrative also touches upon the emergence of markets and the development of money as a medium of exchange, setting the stage for the more intricate economic systems that would follow in England's industrial development.
