| Synopsis: |
Grundy's Wonders, John Grundy's hit TV series about architecture in the north of England, has been one of Tyne Tees television's most popular shows. And in Northern Pride Grundy, with that well-known eye for detail that brings his accounts so vividly to life, looks at the history of the best and the worst buildings to be found up North, from the magnificent cathedrals such as Durham and York (the Premier League) to the worst type of bland and unimaginative buildings on featureless high streets (Local Sunday League Reserves). From the beautiful to the bleak, the grand to the ordinary, this is a book which will appeal to everyone with an ounce of Northern Pride running through their veins. |
