Author

This book takes us through a visual journey of how one street has changed over its long history, providing us with a glimpse of its shared and divergent economic and religious history as well as the many ways that bridges and buildings have changed from Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution, to the present and possible future.

The carefully rendered illustrations provide ample settings for discovering new things in each different period of life on the street.

From Suzanne's list on the idea of streets, history, and places.
