Author: Paul Talling
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1409023850
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Packed with surprising and fascinating information, London's Lost Rivers uncovers a very different side to London - showing how waterways shaped our principal city and exploring the legacy they leave today. With individual maps to show the course of each river and over 100 colour photographs, it's essential browsing for any Londoner and the perfect gift for anyone who loves exploring the past... 'An amazing book' -- BBC Radio London 'Talling's highly visual, fact-packed, waffle-free account is the freshest take we've yet seen. A must-buy for anyone who enjoys the "hidden" side of London -- Londonist 'A fascinating and stylish guide to exploring the capital's forgotten brooks, waterways, canals and ditches ... it's a terrific book' - Walk 'Pocket-sized, beautifully designed, illustrated and informative - in short a joy to read, handle and use' -- ***** Reader review 'Delightful, informative and beautifully produced' -- ***** Reader review 'A small gem. A really great book. I can't put it down' -- ***** Reader review 'Fascinating from start to finish' -- ***** Reader review ************************************************************************************************ From the sources of the Fleet in Hampstead's ponds to the mouth of the Effra in Vauxhall, via the meander of the Westbourne through 'Knight's Bridge' and the Tyburn's curve along Marylebone Lane, London's Lost Rivers unearths the hidden waterways that flow beneath the streets of the capital. Paul Talling investigates how these rivers shaped the city - forming borough boundaries and transport networks, fashionable spas and stagnant slums - and how they all eventually gave way to railways, roads and sewers. Armed with his camera, he traces their routes and reveals their often overlooked remains: riverside pubs on the Old Kent Road, healing wells in King's Cross, 'stink pipes' in Hammersmith and gurgling gutters on streets across the city. Packed with maps and over 100 colour photographs, London's Lost Rivers uncovers the watery history of the city's most famous sights, bringing to life the very different London that lies beneath our feet.

Stamford
Author: Estelle F. Feinstein
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781892724274
Category : Industries
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In the early 1600s, a handful of restless inhabitants of the Massachusetts Bay Colony left Boston for Wethersfield, Connecticut, later continuing on to the site then known as "Rippowam." "Rippowam" became known as "Stamford," a sleepy New England village. But as New York began emerging as the preeminent city in America, Stamford, less than 40 miles away, was pulled into a new sphere. Even in the dawn of its own industrial prosperity in the 19th century, Stamford was the home of New York commuters. It was also the home of an increasingly diverse population. After eras of subsistence, then surplus, farming in the 17th and 18th centuries, industrial enterprise and trade in the 19th, and the postindustrial slump, Stamford today -- with sweet irony -- is the site of a large cluster of Fortune 500 companies who left New York behind.

A History of Singapore
Author: Ernest Chin Tiong Chew
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
This is the first of a series of five volumes on the ASEAN countries being published by Oxford University Press in collaboration with the Southeast Asian Studies Program. In 1819 Thomas Stamford Raffles established an outpost of British India on a sparsely populated island at the southern end of the Straits of Malacca. This book tells how that settlement became a Crown Colony that was for over 100 years one of the most prosperous ports not just of British Malaya, but in the entire British Empire. This multi-faceted historical process is discussed by eighteen Singapore scholars. Starting with a short survey of the pre-modern history of Singapore, their work provides both a chronological account of events and specialized studies including community, the family, education, mass media, housing, health care, welfare, population growth, and national identity.
