This informative and beautifully\u003cbr\u003e illustrated book looks at a wide selection of these, from castles that have been destroyed or replaced by modern mansions, to country houses\u003cbr\u003e that have succumbed to dry rot or lack of funds for their upkeep. Dane Love also visits various burghs and villages, rediscovering the lost\u003cbr\u003e architecture of everyday buildings including churches, banks, tollbooths, public halls, schools, shops and houses.\u003cbr\u003e Ayrshire was once rich in mining and other industries that have now disappeared. This book details the county’s lost coalmines and the\u003cbr\u003e associated miners’ rows, as well as former cotton mills, power stations, shipyards, factories and other places of work. As well as lost buildings\u003cbr\u003e from the distant past, Dane Love includes some more recent examples of architectural losses. In some cases these are welcome, but in many\u003cbr\u003e they are regrettable. Only through this book will the reader discover just how much of Ayrshire’s heritage has been lost over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birlinn General","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516198248791,"sku":"9781912476299","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/lost-ayrshire-9781912476299","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
