Frontierlands : Britain's survival in the making
Sheffield, Hazel2026
Book
The inspiring new book about Britain's forgotten and abandoned places, the opportunities they present for business and communities, and how they can help us face the challenges of climate change. 'Frontierlands' are Britain's forgotten places. Silt-filled harbours, overgrown forests, sunken railway tracks and empty buildings. All once economic engines, now abandoned by investors and the state. But they are home to local communities, and amongst them, some remarkable pioneers working together to repair, rebuild and prepare for the future. Hazel Sheffield takes her readers on a journey that begins at the coastline and travels inward via hoardings and railway arches, factories, streets and neighbourhoods to our homes.
