<p>Early photographs and other illustrations, together with extracts from the writings of the day, provide vivid insight into the life of this metropolis in the late Victorian and Edwardian era. The pictures show people from all walks of life and levels of society, and offer a glimpse of trends in fashion and entertainment as well as changing modes of transport and types of work at the start of the 20th century. The accompanying text reveals the attitudes, opinions, habits, and ordinary concerns and activities of Londoners. Coulter has written a number of books about south London. Oversize: 10x13</p>

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. Lincolns Inn Fields followed from 1638, though Southampton (now Bloomsbury) Square was the first to formally bear that name. Then the Georgian age ushered in the second great wave of square building. This stunning collection provides an alphabetical guide to all 578 historic London squares, whether large, small, famous, obscure, existing, or long vanished. For each there is a brief history, a description of the architecture, and some account of notable former residents; for many, an archive photograph or engraving (and for the major squares several). This comprehensive and unique study also includes an index and select bibliography.

Seaman, John

Tempus

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.
