The traditional pub is a thing of the past. Such has been the orgy of change since the 1960's that less than 4 per cent have interiors of any historic value. This appealing new book focuses especially on what can still be seen of our once-rich pub heritage. It describes how the long and interesting history of the pub, and changing attitudes towards it are reflected in its design and planning, and how it was organised to serve and entertain the customer. It also deals with the often magnificent embellishment of pubs with ornamental glass, tilework and carved wood in the golden age of pub building around 1900. The book contains over 150 photographs of pub interiors as well as plans illustrating and explaining the development of the public house through the ages.
The Architecture of Sharpe, Paley and Austin
One of England's greatest Victorian architectural practices was based, not in London, but in the relatively quiet town of Lancaster. For just over a century the leading practice in the area was that of Sharpe, Paley and Austin.

Buckinghamshire
This completely new edition reveals a county of contrasts. The semi-rural suburbia of outer-Outer London, with its important early Modern Movement houses, is counterbalanced by magnificent mansions and parks, like idyllic Stowe and the Rothschilds' extravaganza at Waddesdon. The Saxon Church at Wing, the exquisite seventeenth-century Winslow Hall, and Slough's twentieth-century factories all contribute to Buckinghamshire's rich inheritance. In this new edition, the unspoilt centres of small towns, like Amersham and Buckingham, are revisited and Milton Keynes, Britain's last and most ambitious New Town, is explained and explored. The rich diversity of rural buildings, built of stone, brick, timber, and even earth, is investigated with scholarship and discrimination. This accessible and comprehensive guide is prefaced by an illuminating introduction and has many excellent illustrations, plans and maps.
