The latest revised volume in the Pevsner Architectural Guides, covering Birmingham and the towns and settlements of the Black Country This fully revised account of the buildings of the City of Birmingham, its suburbs and outskirts, and the adjacent Black Country explores an area rich in Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Even the small towns of the Black Country supported local architects with their own distinctive styles, such as C. W. D. Joynson in Darlaston and A. T. Butler in Cradley Heath. Much West Midlands industry was organized in small to medium-sized firms, resulting in a rich and diverse streetscape and canalscape. The Arts and Crafts tradition also established deep roots in the area, resulting in masterpieces such as Lethaby's Eagle Insurance in Birmingham and Wolverhampton's Wightwick Manor, as well as a host of fine villas and churches. Older buildings of national significance include the grand Jacobean mansion of Aston Hall, Thomas Archer's Birmingham Cathedral, and such unexpected delights as the neoclassical barn in Solihull by Sir John Soane. Featuring new color photography and numerous maps and text illustrations, this volume will transform understanding and enjoyment of the architecture of this key English region.

"Enjoyed it a lot, great plot and characters, really enjoyed how fictional characters intertwine with real locations and occasionally real-life gangsters... What I enjoyed a lot was the attention to the 50s details, the clothes, cars, music, pub culture etc..." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review. "I really enjoyed this book, I couldn''t turn the pages quickly enough. I usually read in the evening and all day long I was looking forward to picking it back up again. If you like a somewhat brutal, totally exciting, exhilarating read, then this is definitely a book for you. I really couldn''t recommend it highly enough." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "The mood is set vibrantly in the Black Country where deep descriptions draw a wonderfully colourful picture of the place during that period. However, it is the very credible main characters that bring this story to life." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "I loved this book and looked forward to reading it each night! Characterisation was great and every person in the book were each brought vividly to life. The geography of the book was superb, I especially liked being taken to a load of different well-constructed 1950s Black Country Pubs and having a pint of mild and a packet of pork scratchings. I highly recommend giving this book a read, you won''t regret it!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review. "Great fast paced gangster book with some twists along the way, just the right amount of crime and violence, nice to read about some familiar places within the black country and have little pieces of history setting the scene. The main characters you really feel you get to know, there''s a nice balance between them being brutal but with a softer side too, would recommend to anyone that enjoys gangster crime books." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "This book should be made into a film! Brilliant, well written and gripping." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review. "This book is a fantastic well written gripping story and it relates to a time I remember well. Truly a local masterpiece." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "Fab...great ... loved it so much...great insight into life in the black country way back in the 50s... I really enjoyed it." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review.

From the first few pages you are drawn into the murky world of the black country''s dark past. I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter. If you''re thinking of getting this book, do yourself a favour and stop thinking and get it. Five stars from me." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Amazon review. "Great read a real page turner, so much description and you feel you really know the characters." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Amazon review. "It was gruesome and made me flinch a few times, which to me is down to the writer''s talent in descriptive writing. The violence may put some people off, but it is crucial to the story and as I said earlier, is an accolade to the writer''s descriptive skills."- Facebook comment.
