The first published biography of the architect of London's Tower Bridge
The architect Horace Jones's Tower Bridge, his London markets and houses helped dictate the character of the Victorian City. his turbulent career mirrored its ascent to commercial supremacy. This wonderful biography captures the man and the City alike.
Long underrated, Horace Jones is an eminent Victorian hiding in plain sight. In David Lascelles he has found the eloquent and passionate champion he deserves.
... a reminder of how many lives (even lives of success and privilege) go unobserved and unremarked. Lascelles has done sturdy work in memorialising Jones, whose name I will call to mind next time I cycle past the Tower of London.
David Lascelles was for many years New York correspondent and Banking Editor at the Financial Times. He is the author of Other People's Money, a history of banking and histories of Rathbones and Arbuthnot Latham. He currently lives and works in buildings designed by Horace Jones. This is his first book on architecture.
