About this book
Old inns, crosses, stocks and whipping-posts, walled towns, castles, bridges and almshouses are among the subjects of this survey of what England was losing in the early twentieth century. P. H. Ditchfield wrote the text and Fred Roe drew the illustrations, which include half-timbered houses, town gateways and inn fronts.
Further chapters deal with vanishing fairs, old customs, prehistoric remains, old documents and the loss of scenery, ending in a conclusion and an index. The book dates from 1910.
