A full colour map, based on digitised OS maps of Alnwick and
Alnmouth of about 1920, with its Anglo-Saxon and medieval past
overlain and important buildings picked out. The map's cover has a
short introduction to the area's history, and on the reverse an
illustrated and comprehensive gazetteer of Alnwick's and Alnmouth's
main sites of historic interest. The back of the map has coloured
early views of buildings, monuments and street scenes of Alnwick
and Alnmouth. The map has been created by a team of people
representing the various historical societies of Alnwick and
Alnmouth, a number of individuals with specific local knowledge and
the curators of local historical collections, including the
extensive archives of both the Duke of Northumberland and
Bailiffgate Museum. Members of the team have previously produced
works on particular aspects of the area's history, including the
town itself, local heritage heroes, the Abbey, the Shrovetide
Football Game and the district during the Great War.
A full colour map showing London in about 1520 - its many churches,
monasteries, legal inns, guild halls, and a large number of
substantial private houses, in the context of the streets and
alleyways that survived the Great Fire and can still be discovered.
Dominating the city are the Tower of London in the east, the old St
Paul's Cathedral in the west and London Bridge in the south. The
city was largely contained within its medieval walls and ditches
but shows signs of spilling out into the great metropolis it was
destined to be. This is a second edition of a map first published
in 2018, incorporating changes to the map as new information has
become available. The map has been the Historic Towns Trust's
number one best seller since publication and has been very well
received. The new edition has a revised cover and illustrations.
