Published price £60


Revised second edition of this seminal work with 250 new entries, some illustrated, bringing the total individual bridges described to 1,600 and information describing more than 2,200 different structures. Here are road bridges, some of which are moveable, moat, packhorse, footbridge, park or garden bridges, aqueducts, canal bridges, tramways and railway bridges and seaside piers which number over one million to cross roads and canals and motorways. Far from dull, the book is quite beautiful, spanning (excuse the pun!) history and in an A-Z format covering the developing technology behind arch bridges, inhabited bridges and lifting bridges. From the wall enclosing the ancient abbey at Bury St Edmunds which carries over the River Lark three ribbed and pointed stone arches probably dating from the 13th century, there is the beautiful Aberdulais aqueduct over the River Neath with ten low stone arches and 340 feet long at Port Talbot. Page after page as you just scroll through and enjoy the archive and modern colour photographs numbering 900 including the beautiful Baddesley Clinton Moat Bridge in Warwickshire around a National Trust property, the gatehouse fortified wall and moat guarding Bishop's Palace at Wells from around 1340, Boathouse Bridge at Longleat, the Brunel Swing Bridge in Bristol, the Clyde Caledonian Railway Viaduct and so it goes on as we amble through Great Britain at a leisurely pace and are shown historical places of interest. One of our favourites is the Lower Brockhampton Manor Gatehouse Bridge, a quaint timber-framed gatehouse from 1550 with knee-braced deck beams. The last entry in the A-Z is handsome Ystrad Suspension Bridge of the type pioneered by James Dredge. Next there is a Bridge Miscellany describing aesthetics, aluminium, ancient British bridges, bridges in art, architectural periods, depictions in commercial art and on banknotes, stamps and medals, collapses and failures of bridges, sea bridges and a whole section on record-breaking bridges with the longest cantilever arm spans or laminated timber beam bridges. Finally, a geographical index. 444 big glossy pages, 22.2 x 28.6cm.

STONEHENGE: The Story of a Sacred Landscape

Book number: 94326 Product format: Paperback Author: FRANCIS PRYOR

In stock

Bibliophile price £6.00
Published price £12.99


A beautifully illustrated account of the history and archaeology of an iconic feature of the English landscape, part of the stunning Landmark Library series. Perched on the chalk uplands of Salisbury Plain, the megaliths of Stonehenge offer one of the most recognisable outlines of any ancient structure. Its purpose - place of worship, sacrificial arena, giant calendar - is unknown, but its story is one of the most extraordinary of any of the world's prehistoric monuments. Constructed in several phases over a period of some 1500 years, beginning c3000BC, Stonehenge's key elements are its 'bluestones', transported from West Wales by unexplained means, and sarsen stones quarried from the nearby Marlborough Downs. Francis Pryor is one of Britain's most distinguished archaeologists and he delivers a rigorous account of the nature and history of the monument and explores how antiquarians, scholars, writers and artists and 'the heritage industry' and even neopagans have interpreted the site over the centuries. Extremely well illustrated and beautifully produced paperback, 236pp, full page colour.

Some buildings are derelict, many still working and all of these extraordinary buildings are accompanied by the story of how each of these places was created, how they are used, and what they reveal about the currents of power flowing through the city. These are doors which may be otherwise closed to us in a magnificent volume, revised and updated in 2017 to include the royal palaces of Hampton Court, the Tower of London and Inigo Jones's Banqueting Hall at the Palace of Whitehall, the Royal Courts of Justice Supreme Court and Bow Street Magistrates' Court.

AMERICAN TRAVELLERS IN LIVERPOOL

Book number: 94344 Product format: Paperback Author: EDITED BY DAVID SEED

In stock

Bibliophile price £7.00
Published price £19.95


Liverpool was the first port of call for American travellers arriving in England from 1815 when regular transatlantic voyages were introduced. The advent of steamships in 1838 reduced the length of the voyage but not the risk. During the early 19th century travel writing developed as a popular genre, as American visitors lingered in Liverpool before moving on into Europe and even the Holy Land and the East. Common themes are admiration of Liverpool's commercial energy combined with astonishment at how brazen the prostitutes were. A transatlantic visitor might not realise that a gentleman was not expected to carry his own luggage, and difficulty in understanding the local accent provides some amusing incidents. The Canadian Elizabeth Forbes expected Liverpool to be dirty, dingy and crowded, but found herself admiring the docklands architecture and clean pavement. Customs checks could be speeded up by a tip, though the officials made rigorous searches for smuggled tobacco. In 1863 the novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, who served as American Consul, published his experiences in a collection of essays, including descriptions of walking round the slums. Henry James wrote about his first evening in Liverpool's luxurious Adelphi Hotel. The bird painter John James Audubon arrived in 1826 and moved on to Edinburgh where he found an engraver who illustrated his celebrated Birds of America and Herman Melville refers to the docks in his novel Redburn. Liverpool had been both a key part of the slave trade and also an important centre for abolition, and the former slave William Wells Brown settled there to write his memoir Three Years in Europe. Liverpool helped writers to liberate their voices in a free discussion of slavery, hosting lectures by speakers such as Amanda Berry Smith, a former slave, the evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, who wrote "The hospitality of England has become famous in the world, and, I think, with reason". A fascinating collection of travellers' stories. 300pp, paperback, many illus including colour plates.

ENGLAND'S VILLAGES: An Extraordinary Journey Through Time

Book number: 94654 Product format: Hardback Author: BEN ROBINSON

In stock

Bibliophile price £10.00
Published price £25


Written by the host of BBC2's Villages by the Sea, here is a charming and unexpected journey through the quirks of England's villages throughout the ages. Dr Ben Robinson is an expert archaeologist, and we join him visiting villages from prehistoric to Roman to medieval times, all the way to today's modern, urban villages. We discover how landowners, governments and communities have shaped villages and why village greens, pubs and village halls exist, and the real meaning behind the names like Bunny, Yelling, Lover, Great Snoring and Slaughter. Entirely new villages are still being built today, but when did the first villages appear and why is this form of settlement so enduring and endearing? This is a compelling hefty tome studying archaeology, history and architecture, and at once a thoughtful, and enlightening look at our oldest homes and extraordinary heritage. There are amazing aerial images such as RAF Alconbury with its Cold War runway gradually disappearing as a new type of village is born with industrial parks, housing developments, schools, greens and a cricket pitch. Or we see the beautiful brickwork of the terraced houses in Cromford, Derbyshire, built by Richard Arkwright in 1776-77 to house his textile workers, alongside other colour photographs of late 15th century small bricks laid in English bond, and a 19th century gault brick wall in Flemish bond of various colours. Hugely entertaining, 421pp, many colour plates.

VICTIMS OF THE OAKS COLLIERY DISASTER 1847

Book number: 94680 Product format: Paperback Author: JANE AINSWORTH

In stock

Bibliophile price £7.50
Published price £16.99


The author's paternal great grandparents, Charles Ernest Hardy and Edwin Hall Bailey, both worked in collieries in the Barnsley area as did their descendants. At the end of 2017 author Jane Ainsworth transcribed a ledger containing the minutes of the Colliers' Relief Fund Committee of the 1847 Oaks Colliery Explosion for Barnsley Archives. This stimulated her empathy with and curiosity about the lives of the people referred to in the Minutes, widows, orphans and a few survivors of the disaster as well as the 73 victims. Despite the challenge of limited early records, she fleshed out the stories and pays tribute to the families of mineworkers whose lives at the time were considered of little value to the colliery owners and managers. She has created a memorial book like no other and a contribution to Barnsley's mining heritage. She has researched dozens of images which are reproduced to the best possible quality given their age, many woodcuts, images of graves and newspaper articles to tell the story of Richard and Thomas Beardshal, Francis Birtles, Robert Hazle (Hessle), William, William, John and Luke Roe (Wroe) from the family who suffered the largest loss of life with four members killed in the explosion on 5th March 1847. For each there are details of who they married and in which church, how many children and how intertwined the families were and how widows like Rebecca Roe (1804-1881) would have struggled to support her family, even with relief from the Subscriptions Fund. She returned to Alfreton with her children to avoid the threat of being admitted to Barnsley Union Workhouse, but she suffered another three deaths there. Also includes hand drawn maps and early views of Barnsley in etchings. 270 page large softback.
