Divided into sections, including Railways and Canals, Houses and Palaces, or Military and Naval sites of interest, Fred brings history to life while explaining in his own inimitable, hands-on style, how the builders and craftsmen have managed to construct such incredible structures from as long ago as Stonehenge right up to the Millennium Dome. Packed with Fred's enthusiasm for the feats of craftsmanship and engineering which lie at the heart of these buildings, each section contains background information on the places it features and highlights 'Fred's Choice', the best sites to visit as chosen by Fred himself. Suitable for those planning family days out, this detailed gazetteer contains full descriptions of the sites, directions and maps showing how to reach them and information on opening times and facilities available.
