Lost Victorian Britain: How The Twentieth Century Destroyed The Nineteenth Century's Architectural Masterpieces
Waterstones Product Information
You save: £4.91 These days it seems perfectly obvious that stupendous nineteenth-century constructions like St Pancras Station should be not only preserved from dereliction but also restored to their original iron-and-glass glory - and used. But it was not always the case. As recently as the 1970s a superb Victorian building like Glasgow's St Enoch's Hotel was being levelled to make way for a banal shopping centre. In the mid-1960s St Pancras itself had been earmarked for demolition. The prevailing attitude of the twentieth century towards Victorian architecture had, for many decades, been well summed up by P.G. Wodehouse in his dismissal of the fictional mid-Victorian Walsingford Hall as 'a celebrated eyesore in all its startling revolting hideousness'. 'Victorian', quite simply, was a term of abuse. Add in the wartime bombing of our cities by the Luftwaffe, and the vandalism of the town planners to make way for the modern ring road and the multi-story, and the scale of the damage is truly sobering.This poignant book, full of stunning and unexpected images, chronicles - and deplores - the catastrophic swathe cut through our architectural heritage by the twentieth century's sustained antipathy to the nineteenth, as well as offering an offbeat history of Victorian architecture, and its belated re-evaluation, entirely through buildings that have disappeared. Of the 200 notable examples of Victorian architecture illustrated in this book, from the magnificent Imperial Institute in Kensington to Norman Shaw's superb church in Bingley, from Preston Town Hall to the vast country house of Eaton Hall, not one still exists. A photograph is all we have left. As well as architectural causes celebres like the Euston Arch and London's Coal Exchange, Stamp also turns up many lesser-known but amazing Victorian buildings whose loss is perhaps even more to be mourned, because history gave us no time at all to appreciate them. Who'd have known that Hackney in East London briefly accommodated the extraordinary Gothic battlements of Columbia Market, or that Chatsworth in Derbyshire once boasted a soaring glasshouse streamlined like a spaceship?Complementing these plangent images is Gavin Stamp's angry account of the wilful destruction, largely motivated by ignorance and prejudice, of grand, solid, striking buildings made to last a lifetime. Surprising, chastening, but also uplifting, Lost Victorian Britain is a memorable journey back into a world we should never have lost.

Bomber Command 1939-1945
Zavvi Product Information
A condensed yet comprehensive look at the development and operations of RAF Bomber Command from a fledgling force at the outbreak of hostilities to one of the most potent forces in the World on the final day. The DVD looks at the early years of 1939 - 1940 when the force suffered huge losses through to 1941 when they began to possess the means of victory. In 1942 they developed new tactics and new aircraft and by 1943 with the use of the Pathfinder Force they were making 1 000 bomber raids on Germany and for the next two years the Nazis reaped the 'Whirlwind' that 'Bomber Harris' had promised them. By 1945 they had destroyed most of Germany's towns and cities and broken the morale of the population.

Zavvi Product Information
DISC 1 - Vickers Wellington When it entered service in 1938 the twin engined Vickers Wellington began an operational career that spanned the whole of the Second World War. Rugged and reliable it was operated by Bomber Command Coastal Command and Transport Command possessing a level of versatility second to none serving in almost every theatre of War. By the autumn of 1945 nearly 11 500 had been built. As the last one rolled off the Vickers' production lines the Wimpy as it was affectionately known had secured its place in history as one of the truly great aircraft of the Second World War DISC 2 - Bomber Command 1939 - 1945A condensed yet comprehensive look at the development and operations of RAF Bomber Command from a fledgling force at the outbreak of hostilities to one of the most potent forces in the World on the final day. This DVD looks at the early years of 1939-1940 when the force suffered huge losses through to 1941 when they began to possess the means of victory. In 1942 they developed new tactics and by 1943 with the use of the Pathfinder Force they were making 1 000 bomber raids on Germany and for the next two years the Nazis reaped the Whirlwind that 'Bomber Harris' had promised them. By 1945 they had destroyed most of Germany's towns and cities and broken the morale of the population.DISC 3 - The Story Of The Lancaster As RAF Bomber Command took the war to the enemy under Air Chief Marshall Arthur Harris the four-engined Avro Lancaster reigned supreme replacing the rugged reliable Wellington in laying waste to German cities by night. This most successful of all World War II 'heavies' could carry more than its own weight in bomb lead including the 22 000 pound Grand Slam Earthquake bomb - the biggest conventional weapon ever made. And when fearless Guy Gibson led 617 Squadron to fame on the low-level Dambuster raid - one of the war's most daring operations - the Lancaster was confirmed as an aviation legend. With recent colour film of 'City of Lincoln' the RAF's last airworthy Lancaster among the wartime footage this is the Lancaster's dramatic story.DISC 4 - Bombers - The Story Of Strategic Bombing Strategic bombing was first used by the Germans in the 1940 Blitz and became the keystone of Allied strategy in World War Two. As British Lancasters hit at the heart of Germany by night the US Eighth Air Force Flying Fortresses bombed the industrial centres by day resulting in a round-the-clock bombardment that would not only tear the heart out of Hitler's war but would reduce the German morale to rubble. Rare archive material and dramatic film footage tells the story of a controversial and costly strategy that was to be seen in operation in later years during the war between the United States and Vietnam.DISC 5 - Bombers Of World War Two Which was the most famous bomber of World War Two? This DVD looks at all the legendary bombers and highlights their wartime action throughout the global conflict. They differ widely in appearance and operational efficiency but they all had one thing in common: they all possessed some claim to fame.DISC 6 - Daylight Bombing Raids Over Europe Whilst the Royal Air Force concentrated on bombing Germany by night the United States Air Force carried out a dangerous strategic bombing campaign against Nazi Germany during daylight hours. On every raid some bombers suffered damage exploding in mid-air falling from the sky in pieces or in tears of flames. Operating from airfield in rural England the Flying Fortresses and Liberator Bombers of the Eighth Air Force and later the Ninth Air Force escorted by the Thunderbolt and Mustang fighters learned a hard lesson in the skies over Europe.
