From the black and white Tudor cottage with contorted timbers to the colourful Victorian town hall with patterned brickwork, older buildings often inspire investigation and query. Who built them and why, who lived there and what events were witnessed from their windows? Perhaps the first question, before the others can be put into context is 'how old is the building?'This illustrated and easy reference guide is packed with hundreds of photos and information to help you date buildings and bring their history to life.
