The
English Seaside and Its Architecture
There is something about the seaside that brings out the beating
heart of John Bull in the English: doggedly erecting our wind-breaks
to capture every vestige of a watery sun; wrestling with deckchairs;
wrapping up against the determined wind on the verandas of our
beach huts; accepting that 'sand' in 'sandwich' means just that!
And this is all reflected in the architecture of the seaside,
as captured so evocatively in Peter Williams' photographs: brightly
decorated beach huts, elaborate promenade benches, strange 1930s
shelters, the facades of ice-cream parlours, there is something
about all these buildings and details that tells you exactly
where you are, that you couldn't be anywhere other than at one
of England's myriad seaside resorts! Hundreds of colour photographs,
th perfect celebration of the spirit of the English seaside.

Cottage Interiors (Country S.)
Glimpsing a thatched roof, mullioned windows, or an open stable
door, even the least curious traveller must wonder what the
cottage is like inside. This delightful book reveals the ways
in which clever and imaginative cottage owners have succeeded
in retaining that all too elusive sense of age, without being
forced to adopt the primitive standard of comfort endured by
the original inhabitants. The author and photographer have searched
countrywide from Berwick upon Tweed to the Lizard peninsular
for interiors which still have quirky imperfections and beguiling
architectural details. They have uncovered a wealth of charming
cottages which, despite the passage of time and alterations
made by successive generations, retain wonderful and poignant
reminders of a way of life now vanished.
Southern
Counties From the Air (From The Air S.)
Leading aerial photographer Denny Rowland takes readers on a
breathtaking tour above southern England, showing the many important
historic and local landmarks which make this beautiful region
a favourite with both locals and visitors. The book includes
chapters on Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and
Dorset.
