Produktbeschreibung
My uncle Eddie Parker, though he worked in engineering for most of his life, was a talented amateur artist with a keen interest in Shropshire history. After his death, his daughter Eve and I agreed to publish a book featuring his drawings of old Shrewsbury buildings, with historical background and some photographs, where appropriate, of the same sites as they are today. The main difference between this edition and the first edition is that the photographs are now in colour. This is very different to my previous technical books. The historical span of the topics covered ranges from Saxon times to the 21st century, with the dramatis personae including saints and kings, poets and playwrights, patriots and rebels. The settings ranging from medievel churches to battlefields, from pubs to castles, from abbeys to museums, from Bronze Age circles to fairs and markets. It even includes short diversions into etymology and blockchain technology.
