Summary: British architectural history has bequeathed to the modern age a rich tapestry of styles, one that can all too easily be taken for granted. Each of our towns represents a unique and irreplaceable combination of architectural modes, and each has been shaped by shifts in style on a national and global scale: from the classically-inspired architecture of the Georgians to the Victorian gothic revival, and from Edwardian eclecticism to the stark minimalism of the 1960s, our buildings have been created in many images while being given their own distinctive regional twists. Each of these is expertly introduced and explained in this beautifully illustrated account.
