A fascinating insight into Britain’s industrial past as evidenced by its buildings, richly illustrated with intricate line drawings.
Architecture historian and artist Hubert Pragnell offers an engaging insight into Britain’s industrial heritage through its historical industrial buildings. The book takes a catholic view of its subject, going far beyond the mills and machine houses of the Industrial Revolution. It looks at the power stations and monumental bridges of Britain, including the buildings and engineering projects associated with the distribution of manufactured goods – docks, canals, railways and warehouses.
