Book Description
This is the story of The Sheffield Arms, a 200-year-old Sussex coaching inn built by the first Lord Sheffield in 1779, and the tenants and landlords who came and went over the years. Australian cricketers, who opened their tours of England in the 1880s and 1890s at nearby Sheffield Park stayed here; the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII came to watch the cricket in 1896 and the landlord of the Sheffield Arms helped provide the royal lunch; in the Second World War, British, Canadian and Welsh troops stationed in Sheffield Park would spend their evenings in the Sheffield Arms; a farmer recalls his time in the newly-fledged Home Guard; local people remember the dinner dances of the 1970s and 1980s; others remember the ghosts they've experienced in the old building. In 1998, after lying empty for eighteen months, the building was bought by Michael Clifford and Tracy Thomson who gave it a new name: Trading Boundaries. It now has a retail showroom selling vintage Indian furniture and handicrafts, an art gallery and in 2021 they will be opening a boutique hotel for those attending their live music concerts and weddings. Trading Boundaries is in East Sussex on the A275, half a mile north of the Bluebell Railway and Sheffield Park Gardens.

Book Description
Sheffield has been synonymous with steelmaking since the eighteenth century and with cutlery for centuries before that. But while it has an extraordinary variety of industrial buildings connected to its metal trades, there is another side to what is England's least known big city. Set amidst magnificent scenery, it has some surprising survivals of its earlier history, as well as handsome public, commercial and religious buildings designed by its Victorian local architects. The leafy western suburbs that rise towards the Peak District were described by Sir John Betjeman as the finest in England. The 1950s and 60s saw the city famed for its innovative public housing, university buildings and churches. After the decline of its manufacturing sector in the 1980s, major new venues for sport and entertainment, the prize-winning Peace Gardens and exciting new buildings such as the Millennium Galleries, Winter Garden and Persistence Works are visible signs of a renaissance in the city's fortunes. This is the first comprehensive architectural guide to Sheffield. It describes the buildings of the city centre and those of the inner suburbs within a two mile radius of it. It also covers the lower Don valley, still the heart of Sheffield's steel industry, the outer suburbs to the west where those who made their fortunes from it lived in splendour and there are excursions to some outstanding buildings on the outskirts. Major buildings including the Town Hall, the two Cathedrals and the Winter Garden are given more detailed treatment, as are the two Universities. The central areas are the subject of walks, those further out have suggested tours by car. Illustrated throughout in colour with specially commissioned photographs and with these images augmented by historic maps, paintings and drawings, Sheffield will enable residents to look at familiar buildings in a fresh light and encourage visitors to discover for themselves the city's enticing contrasts of industrial heritage and natural beauty.

Book Description
Once the preserve of the English, now, for nations the world over, summertime means cricket bats to be oiled, rain forecasts analysed and tea in the pavilion. Cricket has enthralled us since the seventeenth century. But what is it about the game that provokes such fervour? Award-winning sports author Gavin Mortimer calls together a cast of salt-of-the-earth Yorkshiremen, American billionaires and dashing Indian princes to tell the strange and remarkable tale of cricket's journey from medieval village sport of 'club-ball' to the global media circus graced by superstars from Denis Compton to Sachin Tendulkar. If you've ever wanted to know what a hoop skirt has to do with overarm bowling, why England fight Australia over a burnt bail, or how to avoid tickling a jaffa in the corridor of uncertainty, Mortimer chalks up a stunning century of tales in the first truly accessible global history of cricket.
