Reviews

'An impressive selection of archival collections and inclusion of little-known historic material testify to the principal author's dedication, patience and research acumen.'
Ayla Lepine, The Victorian

'This long-awaited exposition is the most comprehensive account of Paley & Austin to date, and will remain the standard work of reference for many decades. It is a complex story, eloquently unravelled.'
Julian Litten, Church Times

'Published by English Heritage, the book’s thoroughness and detail make it a remarkable account of how one firm and its principals influenced the architectural landscape of the North West, giving an interesting insight into Victorian history and legacy.'
Sian Peters, Virtual Lancaster

This is the first serious account of one of the greatest of all Northern architectural practices.
