Opis
Have you ever passed a building and wondered how old it is? This illustrated, easy-reference guide is packed with hundreds of photos and lots of information to help you date buildings and bring their history to life.
From the black and white Tudor cottage with contorted timbers to the colourful Victorian town hall with patterned brickwork, older buildings often inspire investigation. Who built them and why, who lived there and what events were witnessed from their windows? Perhaps the first question, before the others can be put into context is 'how old is the building?'
This book will help you answer that question. With its many photographs and detailed illustrations, it leads you through the various points to examine in order to narrow down the construction date. There are illustrated examples of some notable buildings, with their background history and the details which help to date them. A glossary helps with any unfamiliar vocabulary.
Soon the buildings around you will no longer be just bricks and mortar. As you learn to read their dateable details, history will come alive before your eyes.
