About
Peter completed his undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Manchester, before being awarded a one-year ESRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in 2005-6. He subsequently took teaching posts at Cardiff University and Manchester Metropolitan University and, in 2007, was appointed to a three-year English Heritage Research Fellowship at Manchester Metropolitan University as part of Manchester’s bid to attain a World Heritage Site inscription. Following a short spell at Swansea University, Peter joined Northumbria in 2011.
Peter’s doctoral thesis was on England’s textile export trade to North America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His current research interests include: the British-Atlantic World; the textile industries of Lancashire, Yorkshire and surrounding counties; the merchant communities of inland towns in northern England; mercantile migrations between England and North America; and the canal and transport history of North West England.
