Description
SAVE Britain's Heritage: Thirty Years of Campaigning 1975-2005 is a thoroughly illustrated record of the efforts and achievements of this foundation, created to rescue landmarks in Britain's architectural heritage from demolition. Published to celebrate 30 years of SAVE Britain's Heritage, it tells the compelling story of the campaigns, both successful and unsuccessful, fought by the foundation to rescue churches, chapels, railway stations, markets, town houses, country houses and neighbourhoods from the bulldozers, and to give them new life.Buildings saved from demolitioninclude Battersea Power Station in 1981 and many Victorian mental asylums in the 1990s. The book, by journalist and chairman of SAVE Britain's Heritage Marcus Binney, provides photographs, drawings and documents from the SAVE archives. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of British development battles, and has lots of excellent photographs.
