From the black and white Tudor cottage with contorted timbers to the colorful Victorian town hall with patterned brickwork, older buildings often inspire investigation and query. Who built them and why, who lived there and what events were witnessed from their windows? Perhaps the first question, before the others can be put into context is ‘how old is the building?’ A lot of key information about age and date can be gleaned from just observing the exterior. By recognizing dateable features it is not hard to begin piecing together a building’s history, and then understand how it developed over the centuries. This illustrated and easy reference guide is packed with hundreds of photos, chosen to highlight these tell tale pieces of information. With its help, the buildings you notice need no longer remain just bricks and mortar; their history can come to life in front of you.

Trevor Yorke spent his youth cycling through the countryside around London where he gained an appreciation for old buildings. While school friends composed trendy designs for their art exams Trevor was painting rustic churches and motorway flyovers! This interest in old buildings inspired him to take a course in architecture and to research the subject further so he could recognize historic building styles and understand how they were built. He now travels all across Britain taking photos and drawing the local buildings to illustrate his books. He is the author of numerous related books, including Georgian and Regency Houses Explained, English Churches Explained, and Timber Framed Buildings Explained.
