Designed in 1774 by the celebrated architect Robert Adam, this ‘neat and beautiful theatre’ is celebrated as a brilliant example of decorative neoclassical architecture.

Beneath its feet lies an older story — one which reveals the secrets of the original medieval marketplace, and the ravages of the Great Fire of Bury in 1608. Now marking 250 years since Robert Adam revealed his design, this is the story of the iconic landmark and the people who created it Full Product DetailsAuthor: Adrian TindallPublisher: Crumps Barn Studio Imprint: Crumps Barn Studio Dimensions: Width: 12.90cm , Height: 0.90cm , Length: 19.80cm Weight: 0.140kg ISBN: 9781915067432ISBN 10: 191506743 Pages: 128 Publication Date: 06 June 2024 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Forthcoming Availability: Not yet available This item is yet to be released.
