From its foundation as a Roman fort on the River Lune, to its rapid expansion in the Georgian period with the creation of its port for use in the slave trade, through to the Victorian industries that made Lancaster famous, Lancaster has a proud and distinctive identity. This extraordinary history is embodied in the many fine buildings that have shaped the city. Lancaster in 50 Buildings explores the history of this rich and vibrant community through a selection of its greatest architectural treasures. From the ancient castle overlooking the city to more recent developments such as the White Cross Mills site and St George's Quay, looking better than at any time in its history, this unique study celebrates the city's architectural heritage in a new and accessible way. Local writer and historian Billy F.K. Howorth guides the reader on a tour of the city’s historic buildings and modern architectural marvels.
