Description and Table of Contents

Description

The "Country Series" aims to combine photographs with light, but authoritative commentary on the chosen themes, which cover art, architecture, travel, local history, the countryside, topography, gardens and rural life. This paperback edition of "English Harbours and Coastal Villages" takes the reader on a journey round the country's coastline, famous for its beauty and strong local character. Photographs and an informative text focus on the sights and features that best represent each region: the Cornish pilchard huer's tower, the spectacular limestone strata of Dorset's coves, the wharves and warehouses of Humberside's docklands. The book captures the diversity of the English coastline and celebrates many centuries of English maritime history.
