Description
The history of the building of Alton Towers in Staffordshire from its beginnings in the 18th C. as Alveton Lodge; its extension in Gothic Revival Style for the Earl of Shrewsbury as Alton Abbey & shortly after, the influence of A W N Pugin who extended it further as Alton Towers. It became one of the largest houses in the country. This is a carefully revised 2nd edition (previously published by the author) and includes a new section on the on-going important restoration by the owners of the theme park. The author is a recognized authority on the Gothic Revival Style and has written several books on the subject.
