Its garden squares distinguish London most clearly from other great
cities. All have their ceremonial and market squares, but none the
quantity, quality, and variety of residential squares that sets
London apart. The history of the London square begins in 1631 with
the great name of Inigo Jones, whose houses and church in Covent
Garden were both started in that year. Lincoln's Inn Fields
followed from 1638, before the Restoration and the Hanoverian
Succession gave the political impetus to the first and second great
waves of square building. This book provides an alphabetical guide
to all the London squares, large, small, famous, obscure, existing
or long vanished, founded before 1900. For each of the 578
identified there is a brief history, a description of the
architecture and an account of notable former residents; for many,
a photograph or engraving, and for the major squares several. This
comprehensive and unique study also includes an index of notable
residents, architects, builders, and developers, and a select
bibliography.
The contrasting suburbs of West, Upper, and South Norwood grew up
during the nineteenth century, on the range of hills once covered
by the Great North Wood. West Norwood was intended to be smart and
exclusive, but that ambition was achieved instead by Upper Norwood,
which enjoyed the highest ground, the freshest air and the best
views. South Norwood, which developed after the arrival of the
railway in 1839, was more industrial and commercial than its older
sisters. All three were at their peak of prosperity late in the
nineteenth century. The 200 photographs presented here for the
first time, each with a detailed caption, show the district in the
early twentieth century. A selection of contemporary maps helps to
set the scene, and the book features a detailed index.

A Century of Lewisham offers an insight into the daily lives and
living conditions of local people and gives the reader glimpses and
details of familiar places during a century of unprecedented
change. Many aspects of Lewisham's recent history are covered,
famous occasions and individuals are remembered and the impact of
national and international events is witnessed. A Century of
Lewisham provides a striking account of the changes that have so
altered the city's appearance and records the process of
transformation. Drawing on detailed local knowledge of the
community, and illustrated with a wealth of black-and-white
photographs, this book recalls what Lewisham has lost in terms of
buildings, traditions and ways of life. It also acknowledges the
regeneration that has taken place and celebrates the character and
energy of local people as they move through the first years of this
new century.
