Durham is a remarkable city, a priceless historical gem and, deservedly, a World Heritage Site. Over 1,000 years Durham's great beauty and history has inspired many architectural descriptions and guides. In this new book, author and historian Andrew Graham Stables takes the reader on a fascinating A-Z tour of the city's history, through the cathedral's darkened cloisters, the city's narrow medieval streets and fascinating jumble of buildings and the river's winding pathways, along the way relating many a tale of the most interesting people and places. Fully illustrated with photographs from the past and present, A-Z of the City of Durham will appeal to residents and visitors alike.
