WHITECHAPEL DOORS

Softcover. NUMBERED, SIGNED, LIMITED EDITION (to 50). Whitechapel Doors chronicles the social and political history of this iconic area of London through the entrances and portals of its buildings. Once a rural backwater favoured by the wealthy and the retired, it became a dark and sinister presence in the 19th and 20th centuries, but in the current era, is being transformed into a modern addition to the City that it borders. Illustrated with over one hundred photographs by Louis Berk and narrated by award-winning London Blue Badge Tourist Guide Rachel Kolsky, the doors range from humble residences to the grandeur of public and commercial buildings, each with their own fascinating story to tell. A4 120pp. softcover. Illus. in full colour throughout + text. SIGNED BY THE AUTHORS. New. A fairly heavy book which will require additional postage if shipped overseas.
