Book Description Softcover Satin Finish. Condition: As New. No Jacket. ## Shire Publication: Old Docks by Nancy Ritchie-Noakes No.199 1987 ## ## THIS BOOK: Classified AS NEW: This Book is the 1987 edition, first published in 1987. There is a wealth of information on the Old Docks, Illustrated with descriptions, a fantastic collection, and a wonderful history. There is information on places to visit. This book and a lot of others in my inventory are from private collectors and kept as new.## ## Full colour cover, satin finish. Full information where further reading and visiting is available. ## ## OLD DOCKS: This book describes the historical background of dock construction in the major ports of Britain and explains how docks were built and worked from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the middle of the twentieth. Dock building progressed from the experimental impounding of parts of rivers to the sophisticated construction of vast acreages of water ringed with massive multi-storey warehouses and transit sheds. Nearly all of the masonry and machinery which constituted the oldest docks has disappeared. Still, many interesting examples of nineteenth and early twentieth-century engineering and architecture remain, and the conversion of many old docks to new uses has made these intriguing places accessible to everyone. Nancy Ritchie-Noakes trained as an art historian in New York before marrying an Englishman and moving to Cheshire. Working on building conservation in Chester## ## Shire Books by Bloomsbury Publishing, a book publishing company based in London, England, and formerly by Shire Publications Ltd. and Osprey Publishing. Shire offers low-priced, concise non-fiction paperbacks on a wide range of subjects. Shire books cover antiques and collectables, motoring and rural history, archaeology and Egyptology, architecture, industrial history and many other topics.## ## They were founded in 1962 by John Rotheroe, the company based in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire. The first book published by Shire Publications was Discovering East Suffolk, a 24-page guide to the county through a series of five motoring routes and a gazetteer of the main towns and villages. They were given away to visitors via coach operators, local churches and tourist information points. The book was successful, and Shire publishers decided to sell the second edition because free copies were being sold, setting the template for the future of Shire. Over the following years, Shire expanded its Discovering series and launched several new series, including Lifelines, Shire Albums, Shire Archaeology and Shire Egyptology. ## ## In 2008, Shire began a revamp of its list. It announced that the former Shire series, including Life Lines, Shire Garden History and History in Camera, would be absorbed into a new series called Shire Library, which would retain and expand on the numbering system used by the old Album series, which has long formed the backbone of the Shire Library. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
