David Long uncovers these forgotten locations and brings to life their fascinating history. The streetscape of London's historic square mile has been evolving for centuries, but the city's busy commercial heart still boasts an extensive network of narrow passages and alleyways, secret squares and half-hidden courtyards. Most are ancient survivors dating back to medieval times or earlier, their colorful and evocative names recalling old taverns, trades, and city traditions. Hidden behind the glass, steel, and stone of the banks and big business, these little corners continue to bear witness to nearly 2, 000 years of British history. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Historic buildings|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory. 650 0 Street names|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory. 650 0 Streets|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory. 650 0 Courtyards|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory. 650 0 Alleys|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory. 650 7 TRAVEL / Europe / Great Britain.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Bear, Michael. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aLong, David, 1961-|tHidden city.|dStroud, Gloucestershire, [UK] : History Press, 2011. |z9780752457741|w(DLC)2011500372 914 frd00011645
