Paperback. Zustand: NEW. Paperback. Welcome to Birmingham, a super-diverse city with an ever-shifting identity. This is the quiet mediaeval market town that overnight became the centre of the industrial revolution, over the centuries rolling out leather wares, jewellery, steam engines, motor cars, fountain pens, gun smithery, toys, chocolate, heavy metal music and nanotechnology. The city's drive to successively reinvent itself as motor city, conference capital and shopping destination reflects that initial burst of energy. The result is a city of many layers, bold planning experiments, overlapping fragments and pockets of creative endeavour which can be tough to navigate without a guide. However, its many treasures coruscate more brilliantly for being lost. This book tells the story many would miss through the art, places, buildings, people and the dynamic mix of cultures that reveal the Birmingham identity, from the smallest architectural details to epic civic structures. Only here can you chill on a bench with local heroes Black Sabbath, will you be greeted at the museum by the fallen angel Lucifer, chance upon a golden Burmese peace pagoda, time travel in the Shakespeare Library and find the world's oldest surviving instance of railway architecture. AUTHOR: Ben Waddington is the director of Still Walking, a Birmingham-based festival with an annual programme of guided tours and walking events.

Paperback. Zustand: NEW. Paperback. Mixing Roman and medieval roots, Chichester sits as the heart of a storied landscape where South Down hills dotted with idyllic hamlets ripple back from a shoreline mixing wild dune-backed beaches with old-school seaside resorts.

Paperback. Zustand: NEW. Paperback. Northumberland is the 'Land of the Far Horizon' and England's most northerly county. It was once a place of industrial innovation and manufacturing, literally fuelled by the coal brought up from its depths. Now Northumberland is a quieter place, loved by residents and visitors alike for its rolling hills and long, sandy beaches, as well as its charming towns and villages. With this book in hand, meet Grace Darling, a Victorian heroine who took to storm-tossed seas to help rescue survivors of a terrible shipwreck; visit Amble, the 'Friendliest Port', and discover its connection to the Mauretania, once the fastest passenger ship to sail the Atlantic; and take in Turner's View, an atmospheric stretch of coastline that was a lifelong inspiration to Britain's greatest landscape painter. You can also take a walk to the top of Cheviot, the county's highest mountain and what was once a massive and very active volcano; and then top it off in the tranquil setting of St Cuthbert's Island, where the eponymous saint went to get away from the strangely hectic whirl of monastic life. Written by a proud northerner, this book will help you discover the more offbeat corners of Northumberland, and appreciate its many treasures.

Lawrence went to school here, Lord Byron's ancestral pile is just on the city's outskirts, and it was here that King Charles I raised his battle standard at the start of the English Civil War though precious few rallied to the cause. Local heroes include the cantankerous Brian Clough, who led Nottingham Forest Football Club to a pair of European Cups, the fast bowler Harold Larwood, who famously bowled Donald Bradman during the Body Line Ashes of the 1930s, and the charismatic William Booth, who founded a worldwide movement, the Salvation Army.
