Generally a good read with some interesting and enjoyable vignettes of London history. Rather a lot about the village of St Giles and sundry graveyards, while there is not enough flesh on the bones of other parts. It feels to me like a slightly lumpy mixture of archaeology, architecture and social history. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Crossrail, the 'Elizabeth' line, is simply the latest way of traversing a very old east-west route through what was once countryside to the city and out again. Visiting Stepney, Liverpool Street, Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street, Gillian Tindall traces the course of many of these historical journeys across time as well as space. The Tunnel Through Timeuncovers the lives of those who walked where many of our streets still run. These people spoke the names of ancient farms, manors and slums that now belong to our squares and tube stations. They endured the cycle of the seasons as we do; they ate, drank, worked and laughed in what are essentially the same spaces we occupy today. As Tindall expertly shows, destruction and renewal are a constant rhythm in London's story. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
