Save Britain's Heritage: Thirty Years Of Campaigning 1975-2005
This is a fascinating record of the efforts and achievements of an extraordinary campaigning body, founded to rescue landmarks in Britain's architectural heritage from demolition. Published to celebrate 30 years of SAVE Britain's Heritage, this beautifully illustrated survey tells the compelling story of the campaigns, both successful and unsuccessful, fought by SAVE Britain's Heritage to rescue churches, chapels, railway stations, markets, town houses, country houses and neighbourhoods from the bulldozers, and to give them new life. Written by Marcus Binney, president of SAVE Britain's Heritage and eminent author and journalist, and drawing on photographs, drawing and documents from SAVE archives, this is essential reading for anyone who wants to see Britain's cultural heritage preserved.
