Product Description
Review
"In the current deluge of reality shows...the BBC2's Restoration will surely raise the bar. Over ten episodes, the show will profile 30 historic buildings across the U.K.--ranging from thatched cottages to grand manors. Viewers will then vote on which building to rescue. Though only one building will receive funds, the hope is that all the candidates will benefit from the publicity. Some 17,000 historic buildings are at risk...With luck, this show will stem the tide."
Product Description
Accompanying a BBC2 series looking for the buildings most deserving of preservation and saving one for posterity, this volume paints a complete portrait of the United Kingdom's architectural heritage and offers an introduction to the buildings of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Every style of building is featured - from crofts to castles, swimming baths to chapels - dating from medieval times right up to the 20th century. Illustrated with photographs taken for the series, "Restoration" both describes some of the country's most interesting buildings and seeks to inspire us to preserve our architecture.
