Located in Silver Street, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, this ancient trade thrives to this day. With a vast array of tools at their disposal, these artisans shape leather with precision and finesse. Their workshops are filled with stitching awls, edge bevellers, skiving knives, and rivet setters - each instrument meticulously chosen for its specific purpose. As we delve deeper into history's tapestry, we find ourselves captivated by the library at Rufford Abbey in Nottinghamshire. Giles Worsley's poignant photograph from "England's Lost Houses" transports us back to an era when grandeur knew no bounds. Bramshill in Hampshire beckons us further inside its state rooms through a timeless black-and-white image from "The English Country House. " The opulence is palpable as our eyes wander across ornate furnishings and tapestry cushion covers depicting tulips - perhaps crafted in 18th-century Holland using wool as their medium. In times of war, even gold becomes a weapon for victory. A striking poster from 1915 urges citizens to contribute their precious metal for France's cause during World War I. It serves as a reminder that every sacrifice counts towards achieving triumph on the battlefield. Brinsop Court stands proud amidst rolling landscapes captured beautifully in monochrome photography. This snapshot takes us on a journey through time to witness the splendorous manor houses that dot England's countryside. Orchards come alive before our very eyes thanks to "The English Manor House.
