Description

In this fascinating book, architect Michael Underwood brings to life the story of Portsmouth’s great Gunwharf. Using never before published maps, plans, drawings, illustrations and photographs he follows the progress of the site reflecting the changing technology of warfare, as well as developments in architecture from the early 18th century. The story continues through a vitally important era as HMS Vernon to its transformation in the 21st century into the UK’s best retail, residential and leisure waterfront. "This book is fantastic, I just can't put it down … pictures and graphics are superb and the information within is amazing." Robert Dean MBE, Chairman, Mine Warfare Association "…. a fantastic piece of work; an impressive feat of research and beautifully written. It brings alive the rich story of Gunwharf Quays through the years and will serve as a fine record of this special place." Tony Pidgley CBE, Chairman, Berkeley Group "I have read this amazing book which is overflowing with information and illustration from cover to cover … it substantially exceeds all expectations." Peter Warlow, Designer of Spinnaker Tower
