Hiding in plain sight all over the country are an astonishing variety of ventilation shafts. Some are so heavily disguised as high sculptural art, you'd be forgiven for thinking they were Turner Prize nominees, others are masquerading as bollards...
This joyful book puts vents centre stage and takes us on a quirky tour of some of the most noteworthy examples, celebrating them as interesting architectural structures in their own right, but also as beacons of subterranean industrial development from the eighteenth century to the present day.
Fantastically entertaining, with stunning colour photography and a spotter's map guide to the vents featured, this book would make a great gift for anyone with an interest in the quirkier aspects of architecture.
