Publisher's Synopsis

A conventional Yorkshire upbringing led the Victorian architect, Joseph Hansom, to an unexpectedly turbulent career. His winning design of Birmingham Town Hall was nearly his downfall when it ended in bankruptcy. Dabbling in politics and supporting the Co-operative leader Robert Owen frustrated his personal cause. This title examines his life.
