| Brighton
and Sussex |
|
|
 |
|
For over 200 years visitors
have enjoyed the delights of Brighton, a town
that grew overnight from a small fishing village
to become one of Britain’s most popular
seaside resorts.
Similarly, the Sussex countryside
surrounding it has for centuries drawn travellers
to its ancient sites, rolling downs and historic
towns and villages.
This collection of images, together
with extracts of poetry and prose by writers including
Jane Austin, William Makepeace Thackeray and John
Galsworthy combine to create a memorable portrait
of this beautiful part of England.

| Canterbury
and Kent |
|
|
 |
|
Since medieval times, Canterbury
has inspired travellers, and today it remains
one of the most visited cities in England. Beyond
the ancient city lies some of the most beautiful
countryside in the British Isles.
With its picturesque scenery,
Kent remains typically English in many ways, but
it offers a great diversity of culture and landscape.
In this original photographic collection, images
of Canterbury and Kent are accompanied by extracts
of poetry and prose from writers and travellers
throughout the ages.

| The
Thames |
|
|
 |
|
This book journeys down the
River Thames from its source in a Cotswold meadow
to its broad North Sea estuary, taking in some
of the river’s best-known sights and discovering
some of its hidden secrets.
From the simplicity of the tiny
church at Inglesham to the majesty of Hampton
Court Palace, from the ancient Halfpenny Bridge
at Lechlade to the modern-day splendour of the
Dartford bridge, from Oxfordshire’s pretty
Day’s Lock to the looming structure that
is the Thames Barrier, from the classic architectural
delights of Christ Church college to the bright
lights of Southend’s pleasure beach –
all contrast and blend to make this a truly memorable
portrait of England’s greatest river.

| A
Portrtait of Cardiff |
|
|
 |
|
Cardiff is a city with an ancient
past and a vibrant present. A relatively small
town until 1800, its coastal location and proximity
to the coalfields of the valleys led to Cardiff’s
emergence as one of the world’s busiest
ports and subsequently the cosmopolitan city that
exists today.
A valuable memento for resident
and visitor alike, this portrait of Cardiff not
only looks at the popular “sights”
but also gives an intimate and sometimes surprising
look at its hidden corners.
