A Britain in the cracks of the urban facade where unexpected life can flourish.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Welcome to \u003ci\u003eUnofficial Britain\u003c\/i\u003e. This is a land of industrial estates, factories and electricity pylons, of motorways and ring roads, of hospitals and housing estates, of roundabouts and flyovers. Places where modern life speeds past but where people and stories nevertheless collect. Places where human dramas play out: stories of love, violence, fear, boredom and artistic expression. Places of ghost sightings, first kisses, experiments with drugs, refuges for the homeless, hangouts for the outcasts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Struck by the power of these stories and experiences, Gareth E. Rees set out to explore these spaces and the essential part they have played in the history and geography of our isles. Though mundane and neglected, they can be as powerfully influential in our lives, and imaginations, as any picture postcard tourist destination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elliott \u0026amp; Thompson, Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781783965960\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elliott \u0026 Thompson, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £3.20","offer_id":47916999344305,"sku":"SB-1783965967-C4","price":3.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1783965967.jpg?v=1789708191","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/unofficial-britain-journeys-through-unexpected-places","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
