The Victorian era covers the greatest period of home building that England had ever seen. Cities and towns grew in the wake of increasing industrialization. Yet Victorian builders left a legacy of solid quality and workmanship in both Country and town which has become increasingly appreciated in recent years.
Trevor Yorke, with the use of diagrams, illustrations and photographs that match an authoritative text, explains all aspects of the Victorian home, but particularly its variety of styles and decoration. The book provides a valuable guide for those who are renovating; tracing their house history, or who are simply interested in this amazing period of the Country's history.
