Today it is a prosperous commuter town Woking in 50 Buildings examines the proud and distinctive history of the town through a selection of its greatest architectural treasures. From the Shah Jahan Mosque, built in 1889 and the first ever purpose-built mosque in western Europe, to 'The Lightbox', an impressive new arts and heritage centre, this unique study celebrates the town's architectural heritage in a new and accessible way. Local author and historian Marion Field guides the reader on a tour of the town's historic buildings and modern architectural marvels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445665382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96","brand":"Marion Field","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52452199268533,"sku":"9781445665382","price":20.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4b9d82eb-05b5-4565-8443-3aa2d8325d77.jpg?v=1776826155","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/woking-in-50-buildings-9781445665382","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
