Pictures from The Growth of the English House, A Short History of its Architectural Development from 100 to 1800, by J. Alfred Gotch, F.S.A., F.R.I.B.A., London, N.T. Batsford, 1909.

Any photographs here I believe to be out of copyright, since Alfred Gotch died in 1942, more than 50 years ago, and copyright expired before 1995, and Alfred Gotch was (obviously) not alive in 1996 in order to obtain “revived” copyright.

The text itself might still be copyrighted, but I am not certain; it’s far to complicated for me to work out. So I am only posting extracts for now.

I also do not know the copyright status of diagrams, plans or maps.

I have marked all the images as on-comemrcial use only, but my understanding is that you can use the photographs in any (legal) way you wish, and that they are no longer subject to copyright.
