Item description from seller

[1971], landscape octavo, prelims, 113pp, 170 photographs, plans, maps & drawings, sketches by Bill Toop, plastic comb binding, clear acetate covers. in very good condition, just a touch of wear. This is Brandt Potter Hare's comprehensive architectural study of Cathedral Close in Salisbury 'the purpose [of which] is to establish the characteristics which determined the original layout of the Close and its buildings and to put forward proposals for guiding existing pressures and change towards the conservation and enhancement of The Liberty of the Close', presumably commissioned by the Dean & Chapter of Salisbury Catherdal. It includes 170 original photographs and 5 illustrations by Bill Toop, who at the time was employed by Salisbury Council. It is marked 'Private & Confidential Draft for Discussion' and carries the name R A Tompkins who was Divisional Planning Officer at Dorset Council. It came to us from the estate of a former architect. Brandt Potter Hare was founded by renowned architect Robert Potter OBE and Richard Hare in Salisbury in 1955 - it took the name Brandt Potter Hare in 1967. Potter worked on a number of high profile buildings, including the Bodleain Library, Chichester Catheral and St Pauls Cathedral - he specialised in ecclesiastical buildings. A remarkable item, presumably printed in very low numbers and a rare survivor thus.

Store description

A member of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA), I have been a nearly full time bookseller since the mid 2000s working from home in Bristol. I concentrate on books on transport (mainly railways), industrial history, maritime, topography, the Beatles & other groups from the 1960s and interesting ephemera. I particularly specialise in official publicity of the British railway companies. I sell on ABE, on eBay under the moniker 'mr.publicity' and at book and transport collectors' fairs. I keep a modest stock of quality material which is constantly changing - I spend a good deal of my time travelling around the UK seeking out and acquiring new stock.
