This accessible, well-illustrated account of the birth and growth of the national preservation movement describes the history of the protection and appreciation of buildings, archaeological sites and other relics of Britain's man-made past. Experts examine key themes in the development of historical preservation: the role of pressure groups since Victorian times, the origins of the 'listing' of historic buildings, scheduling of ancient monuments and declaration of Conservation Areas, the growing popularity of country houses as tourist attractions, and the rise of purpose-built heritage centres which cater for nostalgia about the rural and industrial past.
