About the book >.>.> Old buildings are valued today both for the space and shelter which they provide and for the grace and history which they embody. Britain is foremost in the legal protection of historic buildings and in the designation of Conservation Areas. The largest outstanding Conservation Area is the Georgian New Town’ which forms the northem half of central Edinburgh. This is a Handbook for owners and a Manual for Architects Builders and professional advisers. Examples of repairs are drawn from the New Town of Edinburgh but the techniques and materials are common to most Georgian buildings. The traditional construction and appropriate repair of each element of a typical early 19th Century town house is described and illustrated with copious references to other sources. The information has been scrutinised by a panel of Scottish Architects Engineers and Planners with comments from specialist contractors and research organisations. A book for all those who are entrusted with our architectural heritage. (MP)
