Item description from seller

Hardcover, 288pp + 8 pages of glossy colour plates, numerous b&w photos in text, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show gentle handling wear; price blacked-out on the back. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This photographic catalogue documents the surviving architectural legacy of John Dobson, the most prominent nineteenth-century architect in North East England. Renowned for his instrumental role in designing the neoclassical centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, Dobson's extensive portfolio encompasses public buildings, railway infrastructure, churches, and country houses. The collection provides contemporary visual records of his structural achievements across the region, capturing his versatility in both the Neoclassical and Gothic Revival styles. The imagery surveys his major commissions, documenting his pioneering work on structures like Newcastle Central Station, celebrated for its innovative curved wrought-iron train shed, alongside his designs for prominent regional estates such as Meldon Park and Nunnykirk Hall. The volume serves as a visual inventory of Dobson's influence on the urban and rural landscapes of Northumberland and Tyneside during the Victorian era. As a dedicated architectural survey, the book preserves the structural and decorative details of one of the era's most prolific regional builders.…
