Synopsis
With 150 outstanding color photographs, Abandoned London presents a poignant pictorial exploration of the English capital--from forgotten railways lines and underpasses to lost industrial places, movie theaters, churches, and cemeteries. London is both a bright, modern city with soaring skyscrapers as well as a metropolis hundreds of years old--and, despite its gleaming surface, there is another side to the city, one of secrets, dilapidation, and mystery. Wander through disused stations on the Underground; immense, ornate Victorian sewers and waterworks; crumbling but beautiful Art Deco cinemas and empty swimming pools; bombed-out churches and eerie docklands; and ruined mansions and overgrown cemeteries, all haunting relics from a time gone by. Arranged thematically from transport and industry to residential and recreational, these entries cover both the modern city and the historical metropolis. Includes: - South Kentish Underground Station, closed in 1927 - Camden's horse tunnels - Great Eastern Street, once a place of light industries, now finally being revived - Museum Street, Bloomsbury, with its shuttered shops - Crystal Palace Underpass, built to accommodate Victorian visitors on their way to the Crystal Palace exhibition - Sailmaker's Factory, Limehouse - Strand Union Workhouse - St Mary's Lodge, Lordship Road, Stoke Newington - Mansions, Bishop's Avenue - The First Class Swimming Pool Hall - Ladywell Play Tower - Regal Cinema Highams Park - Archway Methodist Central Hall - Highgate West Cemetery - Ruins of a Victorian Folly, Sydenham Hill Woods, From the disused stations on the Underground to the immense, ornate Victorian sewers and waterworks, from crumbling but beautiful Art Deco cinemas and empty swimming pools to ruined mansions and overgrown cemeteries, Abandoned London celebrates haunting relics from a time gone by., 200 superb colour photographs from the medieval city to the Victorian era to the modern metropolis Expert captions explain the fascinating stories behind each entry Wide selection of transport, commercial, residential and industrial places

- c***t (921)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
