Look Up! Winchester - TrustNews Dec 10
With perfect timing between the splendid repaving and the Christmas shopping season, architect Rodney Graham and writer and photographer Christopher Newberry suggest you Look Up! Winchester. This neat little book takes you from City Mill and King Alfred on his plinth to the poor decapitated Black Swan and the gargoyles on the Westgate - looking always at the tops of buildings. With a lot of local history and a little bit of architectural primer, it shows what we miss if we only look in shop windows, as well as illustrating the great sweep of ages of buildings that gives Winchester its character. And now we can Look Up! safely without fear of uneven paving. Published with the help of Winchester City Council, paperback £6.99 (hardback also available) from bookshops and the Tourist Information Centre.
