Detailing Worlds:a Conceptual History of Architectural Detail

"This book presents a wealth of highly relevant detail which, far from obscuring them, serves to illuminate underlying trends and directions of travel. It is enlivened by quotations from the interviews the author conducted with people who played significant parts in key developments, and looks set to become the definitive history of the personal social services.” — Keith Bilton, co-founder Social Work History Network

London has had more prisons than any other British city. The City's 'gates' once contained prisons but probably the most notorious of all was Newgate, which stood for over 700 years.

The author of The A-Z of London Murders takes readers behind the bars of the city's numerous jails and tells the tales of their most infamous inmates.
