Our streets are enriched by a huge variety of objects, from water
fountains and horse troughs to post boxes, signposts and more.
Collectively, these objects are known as street furniture. From
Roman-era milestones to modern infrastructure disguised as artwork,
they tell us much about contemporary life. This book relates the
compelling history of street furniture's design and manufacture,
featuring notable architects and major ironfounders, as well as
curiosities like King Edward VIII post boxes. It brings the story
right up to date, detailing the new generation of environmentally
friendly and digitally connected street furniture. The book also
charts the dangers to our streetscapes, which are particularly
vulnerable to change, with heritage street furniture at risk of
being forgotten or lost. This book includes many fascinating images
of surviving street furniture and vanished pieces, with archive
material allowing readers to see long-gone items in use. It will
appeal to those interested in social and transport history, in how
we lived in the past, and indeed how we may live in the future.
