Britain's Railway Architecture & Heritage af Trevor Yorke
Thanks to the nice color photographs (many, I believe, by the author himself), this story of Britain's railway architecture is a quick read that doesn't require endless googling. The parts about the stations themselves are the most interesting. It makes me want to spend more time hanging around St. Pancras!
An excellent introduction to the architectural styles and household fittings of the regency period. Lots of illustrations.
Published as part of the Britain’s Living History Series, this slim volume, for the book contains just 64 pages, yet contains a wealth of information. Written in a clear easy to read format with photographic illustrations and broken down into chapters complete with a concluding index.
This book encourages us to delve beyond the name and dates on the headstone, and to look further at the style of the Memorial, the graphics upon it and the even the types of stone used to make it. Readers are encouraged to get out and about and explore their local churchyard using the knowledge within the book to gain further information about those commemorated upon the stones.
The book further explores the how the churchyard and cemetery evolved within our Society, the styles of stones over the ages and how burial practices have changed with a the later section of the book dedicated to understanding the various carvings and what they mean, giving further information of the person they are dedicated to.
This book is a welcome addition to any genealogist and family historian bookshelf and really does encourage us to get out their and explore.
