Excellent
Absolutely fascinating book which contains everything (surely!) anyone needs to know about the Victorian house. Small houses, large houses, all those in between, every one is subjected to great scrutiny with accompanying drawings of the types of brick used, the layout of the bricks, the names of different kinds of window. Layouts, designs, the changes in architecture over the period, what equipment kitchens would have, light fittings, kinds of light....and so it goes on. For such a small book it certainly gives value for money, and has many photographs as well as the drawings to fully explain everything. It also talks about the different classes and who would live where (less obvious when you get to upper lower and lower middle!)

Highly recommended.
