A not-for-the-squeamish journey back through the centuries to urban England, where the streets are crowded, noisy, filthy, and reeking of smoke and decay
An original exploration of all the ordinary, extraordinary and totally mad things we've thrown out and redeemed through the ages.
Almost everyone has a neighbour. Emily Cockayne traces the story of the British neighbour through nine centuries - spanning Medieval, Tudor and Victorian periods, two world wars and up to today's modern, virtual world.
