This extraordinary history is embodied in the buildings that have shaped the town and its neighbouring island. Weymouth and Portland in 50 Buildings explores the history of this rich and vibrant community through a selection of their greatest architectural treasures. From the many fine Georgian and Regency houses that line the Weymouth seafront to the National Sailing Academy on the Isle of Portland, which was selected to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, this unique study celebrates the town's architectural heritage in a new and accessible way. Author John Megoran guides the reader on a tour of these historic buildings and modern architectural marvels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Megoran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 144566500X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445665009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"John Megoran","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444901589247,"sku":"9781445665009","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ebfdeab1-ef5e-4075-a518-f0cbd0a0e19e.jpg?v=1777215315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/weymouth-portland-in-50-john-megoran-9781445665009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
