Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper

First edition. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs in colour and black-and-white. When Chaucer began his Canterbury Tales, it was from a table at the Tabard Inn in Bankside. Now, six and a half centuries later the story of this unique part of London is still being written. This work traces the origins of modern-day Southwark, on the southern bank of the River Thames. Edited by Nigel Billen and Lance Knobel, British editors and publishers. With photographs from Phil Sayer, an English photographer and designer.
