I was joint author of this book with Martin Green who is the chairman of the Warwickshire Industrial Archaeology Society (WIAS). The book was a joint venture by WIAS and the Leamington History Group (LHG), of which I am a committee member.
This book is simply a selection of 24 of my drawings of buildings of Leamington as they exist, or used to exist.
This book aims to tell stories not just about the 100 buildings themselves but about the people who built them and those who lived and worked there. It tells a wide story of the town and includes humble homes as well as homes of the well-to-do, workplaces and public buildings.
