The Lost Rivers of London

Nicholas Barton

4.9/5 (32006 ratings)

Description:The thought of a ‘lost’ river running beneath a road or house produces interest or consternation. A feature once on the land surface, a symbol of the rural age of London, is somehow more indicative of what is hidden beneath the bricks of the city than any other.When The Lost Rivers of London first appeared in 1962 it was immediately welcomed by scholars and general readers alike. It remains the only comprehensive study of those water courses, now buried, which sometimes make themselves evident in heavy rains or at the dig of an unwary builder’s earth-remover.Many have become part of London’s complex sewer system; others still run sweetly enough to have recreational use. In the past they have formed boundaries, dictated the course of roads and influenced the location of industry. In these ways and others they have contributed to the history of London.Nicholas Barton’s book has long been out of print and much sought-after. It is reissued complete with all the illustrations and the invaluable fold-out map.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
