In this picturesque exploration of Britain's constructed landscape,
an array of medieval lanes, Georgian crescents and Victorian
squares make an appearance, together with the people - famous,
infamous and unfamiliar - who designed, built and lived in them.
From Bedford Square and Portobello Road in London, through to Grey
Street in Newcastle and Charlotte Square in Edinburgh, Historic
Streets and Squares takes you over the doorstep of some of the
country's most familiar addresses. Melanie Backe-Hansen takes us
beyond the facades, delving into the evolution of ancient streets,
the aspirations of builders and architects, and the extraordinary
lives of past residents. She also reveals the fascinating stories
of how some of our oldest and most valued crescents, lanes and
avenues have survived into the twenty-first century, and the twists
and turns of their journey along the way. Taken together, these
fifty examples tell us much about Britain's urban development over
the centuries, while also highlighting more recent attempts to
preserve our architectural heritage. The history of our streets,
avenues, lanes and squares reveals more than just changes to
architectural style, but offers a doorway into the heritage of our
nation.
