Daunt Books

Philip Davies' sequel to the exquisite Lost London takes a closer and more detailed view of the city's lost heritage. In over 300 spectacular photographs from the English Heritage archives, it reproduces historic images commissioned by London County Council - many of them in the early days of photography - to capture individual buildings and streets that, along with their entire neighbourhood, were on the threshold of redevelopment. As with the first collection, the fascination of these new photographs is in the depth of the detail revealed: haunting faces from the forgotten past live again, shopfronts and hoardings reveal their wares while architectural details and textures leap into focus. Please note that this item is extremely heavy, so postage will cost approximately £5 extra.
