A copy of Pevsner Shropshire was left in the lost property box at my father’s company - after no one claimed it he gave it to me.

My honorary godfather who was Precentor of Lincoln Cathedral introduced me to Pevsner as he had most of the Buildings of England series in his library. The first book I read was the paperback edition of Lincolnshire (Pevsner / Harris).

Lost in the mists of time, but probably a paperback copy of 'London except... ', with brownish-yellow pages of post-war economy paper

I had a lovely teacher who introduced to the Pevsners... I have a bookcase of a lot of them now...

London, I think, but it was the most revelatory experience and opened up a whole new world to me. I couldn’t believe I’d got to that point in my life with my history living bookish family and not known they existed!!
