English Heritage Pocket Books encourage us to look beyond the obvious.

Writer and photographer Peter Ashley champions the sometimes neglected and unsung architecture and related artefacts of everyday life, looking at everything from signal boxes to pre-war road signs, from lighthouses to canal tunnels.

The series is beautifully produced with original colour photography throughout, accompanied by a witty and often idiosyncratic text.

An impassioned look at the detail in the street and out on the road. Examples range from the earliest milestones to classic telephone boxes.

    Comments about Hard Furnishings:

    The author photographs everyday things around us and gets us to look at them more closely. The book is one of a series and all are worth reading. It is based in England so is a useful quick read for those travellers heading there.
