Publisher's Synopsis
There is much to be learned about the history of a building, a community, a neighbourhood, from looking at its landscape with a discerning eye. This book arose out of a Research Day held in 2021 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the foundation of Chester Society for Landscape History in 1986. It brings together the work of seven members of the Society and offers glimpses into the past based on what can still be seen today. Eminently readable, thoroughly researched, and properly contextualised, the papers in this book - individually and collectively - make a major contribution to our understanding of the historical processes which have created Cheshire and the adjacent area of England and Wales.
