Portillo's hidden history of Britain
Portillo, Michael, 1953-2019
Book
'Portillo's Secret History of Britain' presents a compelling and wonderfully evocative history of Britain through the stories of its 'lost' or abandoned buildings. Using a combination of his own investigations and archive research, plus memories and quotations from the contributors he interviewed for the series, Michael will explain what the buildings were used for and by whom, why they were abandoned, and what they can tell us about our past.
