When cricket was democratised and taken up more widely in the nineteenth century, the pavilion became an essential item for every cricket club. Pavilions provide the necessary facilities - changing areas, room to eat, drink and socialise, an external clock, a scoreboard, a view of the pitch - but also a home for the trophies, scorebooks, records and archives that embody the history and heritage of a club. Whether thatched pavilions on village greens, ornate Victorian structures or Modernist icons, the cricket pavilion is at the heart of the game's architectural, social and cultural significance.In this lavishly illustrated book, Lynn Pearson explores the history of these often overlooked gems of architectural and social history.

By the end of Queen Victoria's reign, factories had become an inescapable part of the townscape, their chimneys dominating urban views. This book is concerned with the architecture, planning, and design of those factories that were part of the second wave of the industrial revolution. The geographical range encompasses the whole of the British Isles, while its time span covers the Victorian and Edwardian eras, 1837-1910, and the period leading up to World War I. It also looks back to earlier buildings and gives some consideration to the interwar years and beyond, including the fate of factory heritage in the 21st century.

The neighbourhood co-op store was an essential element in the English shopping landscape for a century and more. Initially identified by the iconic co-operative symbols of beehives and wheatsheaves, eclectic store designs by local architects made a lasting impact on the townscape. Robustlyindependent local co-operative societies and lack of overall branding happily produced an unusually diverse range of architectural styles. And they were much more than just shops - their integrated educational facilities, libraries and halls made them a focal point for communities. The Co-opeventually offered a "cradle to grave" service for its members. Behind the network of stores was the Co-operative Wholesale Society, the federal body responsible for manufacturing and distribution. Its factories employed thousands during the productive peak of the 1930s, and its architects broughtmodern design standards to bear on the whole gamut of co-op buildings. Co-op architecture is still around us countrywide, with everything from Victorian edifices to post-war artworks there to be seen and enjoyed. Using a wonderful selection of archive and modern illustrations, this book reveals theintriguing story behind the co-op's buildings, from corner shops to vast department stores and innovative industrial structures. Remember, it's all at the co-op now!

" I have no pain now, mother dear, But, oh, I am so dry! Connect me to a brewery and leave me there to die."Breweries were large and striking buildings whose towering presence was often reinforced by their occupation of sites in the middle of towns. They were the flagships of a major industry and generators of some of the great business fortunes. Designing their breweries for architectural grandeur as well as for their function, brewers were well aware of the marketing value of their buildings and used them as advertisements. What is surprising is that so little attention has been paid to breweries, in contrast to other great industrial buildings such as mills and warehouses. Lavishly illustrated, British Breweries covers the whole of their history, from the country house brewhouses of the eighteenth century to the great breweries of Georgian and Victorian England, and to widespread disappearance in the twentieth century.

It used to be said that whenever a football manager needed a goal scorer all he had to do was travel to the North East, call down a mineshaft and up would pop a centre forward. This book guides the reader on a tour of the area's sporting treasures; from the site of the celebrated Blaydon Races in Newcastle to a cockfighting pit in Tynemouth.
