Articoli correlati a Lost Dundee: Dundee's Lost Architectural Heritage
Few cities have been as drastically altered by waves of construction and demolition as Dundee. Lost Dundee brings back to life a forgotten townscape of wonderful mediaeval, Georgian and Victorian buildings, through rare archive photographs and beautiful illustrations.
The renaissance architecture and maritime quarter of this great port, now buried under modern bricks and concrete, are lovingly traced in these pages. The authors describe Dundee's later transformation from a major Georgian town, at the centre of the flax trade between Russia and the USA, into the jute capital of the world.
Everything was to change once more with the arrival of the railways, which separated the town from the sea. The last remnants of the medieval city disappeared under pressure from unplanned development and the great mills and factories which engulfed Dundee on all sides.
Lost Dundee also looks at the changes wrought in the twentieth century by the imposition of a modern town centre, followed by Dundee's recent rise to eminence as a university city.
This book is illustrated with over 200 drawings, photographs and plans of Dundee from city and university archives, many of them previously unseen, including Charles Lawson's extraordinary drawings of old Dundee from the Central Library. Essential to an understanding of Dundee's past, this book uncovers a rich heritage beneath the present-day streets.
