"Although each of the areas covered in this book can be celebrated for their individual historic value, the purpose of this book is to focus on a wider perspective; to look at how a system of individual structures and sites are symbiotically related."
Like threads weave a tapestry, buildings, structures and landscapes converge as historic corridors.
