Paperback. Zustand: New. The picturesque market town of Skipton in North Yorkshire regularly features in newspaper polls as one of the best places to live in the UK. With its ancient castle, scenic towpath beside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and beautiful surrounding countryside, it has also become a popular destination for tourists visiting the Yorkshire Dales. Skipton has not always been such an enviable place to live. In medieval times its castle was frequently subject to violent attack and, during the English Civil War, was besieged for three years as it held out as the last Royalist stronghold in the North. Another key moment in Skipton's history came at the turn of the nineteenth century with the construction of the canal and the arrival of the cotton mills. This brought prosperity to the town, but working conditions were harsh.The historic buildings that line Skipton's streets point to its interesting past, but how much of the detail has been lost with the passage of time? In Secret Skipton, author Margaret Brecknell aims to rediscover some of the lost stories of Skipton's past, focusing on the events and people that shaped the town's history across the ages. Among the subjects covered are the castle and its residents, special occasions, education and religion, working life, wartime, leisure and notable buildings.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. The north-west seaside resort of Southport can trace its origins back to 1792 when William Sutton, a pub landlord from Churchtown, built a bathing house in a sparsely populated area a few miles down the coast. Although widely mocked at the time, Sutton realised the potential for a resort close to the newly constructed Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Within thirty years Southport, as it was renamed, was attracting over 20,000 visitors annually.In this book, Margaret Brecknell celebrates the town's significant events and achievements, together with its notable local people from across the centuries. Southport was viewed as more upmarket than its emerging rival, Blackpool. Among those attracted here were 'The Greatest Showman' P. T. Barnum and the future French Emperor Napoleon III. Southport later hosted some of the twentieth century's best-known entertainers including Charlie Chaplin and The Beatles. In the 1970s, the legendary Grand National winner Red Rum was trained on Southport Beach.With people increasingly choosing to holiday abroad, Southport has reinvented itself as a destination for day trippers. In recent years, a large-scale rejuvenation project has taken place near the seafront with the aim of restoring some of the resort's most popular attractions, such as the Victorian pier, to their former glory. Southport has much to celebrate in its past, but can also look forward to the future with renewed confidence.Illustrated throughout, this book will appeal to residents, visitors and all those with links to this seaside town.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. The Lancashire town of Burnley was once the cotton-weaving capital of the world. The Straight Mile that carries the Leeds and Liverpool Canal 60 feet above the town is regarded as one of the seven wonders of the British waterways system. The area adjacent to the canal, which is today known as The Weavers' Triangle, hints at the town's industrial past but, as this book reveals, there is much more history to discover when we delve beneath the surface.Author Margaret Brecknell takes readers on a fascinating exploration of the hidden heritage of Burnley and the neighbouring towns of Nelson and Colne. The countryside around Burnley is dominated by Pendle Hill, which has given its name to the surrounding area. The Pendle Witches, who were convicted and hanged for witchcraft in 1612, are known throughout the world, but what was the background to these extraordinary events? Less well known is the story of George Fox, whose vision on top of Pendle Hill in 1652 led to the foundation of the Quaker movement. From more recent times, discover the tragic story of Wallace Hartley, the bandleader on RMS Titanic whose memorial is in his home town of Colne; how Nelson came to be known as 'Little Moscow'; and the two years in the 1940s when Burnley was Britain's theatre capital.Illustrated throughout, Secret Burnley and Pendle will surprise and delight local people and anyone with connections to the area.…

Ships in box from the USA, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Pioneering nineteenth-century photography finds detailed historical analysis in Martin Barnes's scholarly monograph on Benjamin Brecknell Turner. Published in 2001 by V&A Publications and distributed in North America by Harry N. Abrams, the work documents the serene landscapes and architectural studies of one of Great Britain's early amateur photographers. Focus centers on Turner's portfolio Photographic Views from Nature, compiled between 1852 and 1854, offering an examination of the technical and aesthetic transitions of early photographic chemistry. Oblong landscape formatting characterizes the physical volume, which is bound with a brown cloth spine, dark brown paper boards, and a matching illustrative dust jacket. Full-page sepia-toned plates replicate Turner's original large-format calotypes, capturing ruined abbeys, rustic cottages, and the historic construction of the Crystal Palace in London's Hyde Park. Specialized appendices include a detailed glossary of historic processes such as calotype paper negatives, salt prints, and albumen printing methods, alongside a list of individual plates. Collaborating curators Martin Barnes, Malcolm Daniel, and Mark Haworth-Booth compiled extensive biographical and historical records to reconstruct Turner's life and artistic process. Curated exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art originally displayed the surviving paper negatives, which require specialized conservation. The volume documents the transition from experimental Talbot calotypes to mainstream nineteenth-century albumen printing. Benjamin Brecknell Turner (illustrator).…
