About this product

Product Information

Lost England records the greatest transition in England's history as the longstanding practices of a largely rural economy shifted focus into towns and cities: astonishing photographs give the reader access to the streets, living and working spaces of the growing cities as well as the daily routines of rural life.

    Great Book If you Like the Subject

    Full of great black and white images of scenes all over England that have mostly gone. Very thick book, very nicely presented. Images take most of page layout, little text, no page ornamentation or rubbish like that. The book is about showing the pictures as best as can be done on the page size. Might be less London content, but there's a separate book covering the same material but just London. Pretty much a pair.

  • Most critical review

    OK but not special despite its massive size

    Huge book, weighs a ton. Some excellent photographs but also a lot of padding with views where the subject hasn't really changed much, and far too much waffle. After looking right through it I found only two pohotos which make it into my top 100 list of historic views.

  • Many fascinating photos

    A wealth of photos of buildings, towns, villages and people from many decades ago and of a range of eras. Includes some interesting images of dilapidation and decay. The book is divided into material from different regions. Great to dip into.
