Tracing the History of Houses | A guide to the architecture and development of the British home (Britain's Architectural History) - Softcover
Synopsis
The house you live in may be decades or even centuries old and much may have changed since it was originally built - windows and doors replaced, and even major structural alterations made. To trace its history may seem a daunting task but there will be clues to dating it if you know what to look for. Trevor Yorke explains the various sources of information available which can help date the building such as maps and estate surveys, histories of the locality; and also those documents available which can name those who may have lived in it previously, for instance, census returns and trade directories.

Product Description
Using both illustrations and photographs, Trevor Yorke describes in detail how to discover the approximate date of a house by looking at the physical evidence, not just of the house itself - its style and shape, the material used to build it and the quality of the interior fixtures and fittings - but also its location with the neighbourhood.
