Description
An accessible and readable introduction to British architectural styles, from the eighteenth century to the 1980s.
Each of our towns represents a unique and irreplaceable combination of architectural modes determined by regional landscape, economics, climate and how all these have changed over Britain's long history.
From the classically-inspired architecture of the Georgians to the Victorian gothic revival, and from Edwardian baroque to the stark minimalism of the 1960s, David J. Everleigh details the variety of British townhouse buildings, with their own distinctive regional twists.
Alongside beautiful illustrations, each are expertly introduced and explained in this compact account.
