From optical remote-sensing technology (lidar) to more traditional forms of landscape analysis and documentary research, this volume brings together the work of both amateur and professional historians and archaeologists, united in their enthusiasm for the landscape of northwest England and north-east Wales. This collection of research papers arose from the Chester Society for Landscape History's 25th anniversary conference and includes a wealth of illustrations. The publication offers new insights into a wide range of features indicative of the region's history between the twelfth and the twentieth centuries, including residential buildings, settlement patterns, the names and boundaries of fields, and the legacy of developments in transport and industrialisation: a collection of 'landscape discoveries' to be shared.
