An intrepid team of researchers produced this volume for English Heritage and the Greater London Council. Lavish color photographs, along with monochrome photographs and drawing from previous
ages, illustrate a review of school architecture. The topics are the earliest surviving schools, the growth of public and charitable schools 1800-70, the school boards 1870-1902, local
authorities take command 1902-18, the interwar schools 1914-40 as a missed opportunity, education for all 1945-85, guidance for selection for listing, and new uses for old schools. No index is
provided. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
