Notes:
A major component is 'Directory of watch and clockmakers of Northumberland and Durham' [pp181-281], supported by a list of makers per town. The list, arranged in alphabetical order of maker, provides time spans, addresses, occasionally family details, occasionally details of products, etc. Also contains introductory chapters including: 'Clockmaking families' containing many family trees [pp114-31] and 'The Beilby and Bewick accounts' [pp144-62] which are examined to find details of the wider trade in North East England
