Description


Canterbury is one of England's most historic cities. A rich heritage of medieval, Georgian and Victorian buildings survived until the mid-twentieth century, which brought wholescale destruction. This book contains over 250 photographs to illustrate a selection of Canterbury's lost buildings, comparing historic views with contemporary scenes.


Author Description


Paul Crampton was born in Canterbury, where he still lives and works. For twenty-eight years he worked for BT, but took early retirement to concentrate on his writing. This is Paul's twelfth local history book; the others have been published by Meresborough Books, Tempus and Breedon. He also writes a fortnightly historical feature for the Kent Messenger newspaper group.
