Lost Buildings is an invitation to visit buildings long vanished or those demolished within living history, some by dim politicians, others by war or "acts of God", that we would pay good money and travel a long way to see, if only they existed, today. It looks, too, at buildings from literature, myth and children's stories, and some lost opportunities - fantastic, ambitious designs that were never built. There are countless buildings that remain vivid in the collective memory, whether they were once real or were only ever imagined. Lost Buildings brings these together for the reader's curiosity and delight.

Highlights include: The Tricorn Centre in Plymouth, Coventry Cathedral, Euston Arch, the Baltic Exchange in London, Crystal Palace, The Singer Building in Manhattan and the Tait Tower in Glasgow

Ta for that MD Sounds like it's worth a butcher's

Me Nan could remember visiting the Crystal Palace when she was a little girl. Said the place was massive. Sadly, by the time it burnt down in 1936, it was very run-down
