What is Fred Dibnah's Buildings of Britain about?

255 pages : 25 cm "For a lot of people, their first questions when they visit a great historic building are 'How the heck did they build that all that time ago? How did they manage to lift all that stone and wood up to such a great height?'" "In Fred Dibnah's Buildings of Britain we get Fred Dibnah's own inimitable answers to these questions. Using Fred's beautifully executed drawings and his own words, David Hall (Fred's biographer and friend) celebrates Fred's legacy as a passionate advocate for our country's most famous and historic monuments, castles, cathedrals, abbeys, great houses and engineering marvels. His interest was in the practicalities of building and explaining simply how great medieval castles and abbeys were constructed at a time when technology was limited and there were no power tools, concrete, steel, engines or heavy machinery." "From Peterborough Cathedral to St Paul's and from the Humber Bridge to Stephenson's Rocket, this book is Fred's ultimate guide to the buildings and engineering feats that made Britain great."--BOOK JACKET Includes index Forts and castles -- Places of worship -- Houses and palaces -- Machines that changed the world -- Engineering wonde
