Description
Corrugated Iron Buildings by Nick Thomson explores a pivotal chapter in the history of construction. Since the mid-nineteenth century, manufacturers in Britain have produced prefabricated corrugated iron buildings for various purposes, from humble cottages to substantial churches and hotels. These structures, often overlooked, played a significant role in shaping the built environment. Corrugated iron has become a familiar element of vernacular building, bringing its unique character and colour to rural landscapes and urban realms. This book draws on extensive research to shed light on the significance of these buildings, both in Britain and globally. By examining the history and production of corrugated iron buildings, Thomson sheds new light on an often overlooked aspect of architectural heritage.
