About this product

Product Information

In House Histories, Britaina s leading house historian uncovers the hidden stories and secrets of ordinary and extraordinary houses across the country. The wide range of houses, from workersa cottages to aristocratic mansions, offers a unique insight into our social and architectural history. Tudor farmhouses, Georgian town houses, modernist twentieth-century designs and converted factories all have a tale to tell. Melanie Backe-Hansen digs into the past of homes once occupied by famous figures such as H.G. Wells and Benjamin Disraeli, a Miss Moneypennya and the Second World War SOE recruits. Details of the daily lives of ordinary people emerge from the railway and fishermena s cottages or silk weaversa terraces in which they lived. From Hampstead Garden Suburb to the slum clearances of Manchestera s Hulme, the reader is taken through the centuries of change experienced by each house, exploring past occupants and architectural alterations. Entries are illustrated with a range of historic maps, photographs, prints, archive records and contemporary images. As a nation we are obsessed by property: prices, interior design and restoration, and the creation of a home. Now there is another avenue to explore: your housea s history. House Histories helps readers get started by outlining the main research sources and how to use them.

    Seller offered best price on ebay for this DVD. Fast mailing & item arrived safely, securely packaged & although advertised as being in VGC, is actually like new! DVD plays perfectly as described. One of the best live concerts of all time with this artist & his band! Connected the DVD player to my amp with an Optical Digital cable & sounds fantastic thru the speakers! Great communication from the seller. Another smooth and pleasant transaction experience with this professional ebayer. Thanx AA++
