Description
Book SynopsisThis easy-reference guide is packed with information and detailed illustrations, explaining everything you need to know about houses and properties from the Edwardian Age. Using his own drawings, diagrams and photographs, author Trevor Yorke takes the reader through all aspects of the Edwardian house. The book is intended to be an easy-to-understand guide for anyone making their first step into this subject. It will also provide readers with a background knowledge of all aspects of Edwardian housing, whether they are renovating, tracing the history of their own house or simply wanting to know more about this notable period in history. The book is divided into three sections: the first outlines the story of the Edwardian Age and how housing developed; the second section steps inside the house and looks at their various rooms and fittings; the final part includes a list of places to visit and a glossary of terms.
