The Feminist Art of Walking
The allure of the city is powerful but not universally accessible. For many women, it can be exclusionary, exploitative and dangerous. In The Feminist Art of Walking, Morag Rose shows how women can and do claim their place in the public space. Setting off to explore cities and towns across Britain, she traces local histories and personal stories and attunes herself to the broader resonances of women's rights amidst alienating capitalist cityscapes. Craving connection and comradeship, she discovers a unique and inclusive approach to walking, celebrating diverse women who transform walking into an art form and act of resistance. By experiencing the pleasures and pains of urban exploration, she shows us how to reconnect with and become enchanted by our streets.

Taylor in London
The ultimate London travel guide for Taylor Swift fans, featuring every must-see Swift-related spot in London. London: it's a stand-out city, right? Ask any Taylor Swift fan and they're sure to say yes. Taylor's popped up across various London neighbourhoods over the years - and she performed a record-breaking eight times here on her 2024 tour. It's safe to say the city has captured her heart on more than one occasion. So while most travel guides will take you to Buckingham Palace or the Tower of London, this one introduces you to the places that every fan needs to visit. Like the pub that features in that song, the studio Taylor recorded at, the kebab shop she ate in (and featured in a music video). From long walks on leafy Hampstead Heath to vintage shopping trips along Portobello Road, there's more to discover than the stadiums on the Eras tour (though they're worth visiting too). Perfect as a gift or a personal keepsake, this guide will delight anyone who's ever wished to get a little closer to their favourite singer's world. If you're a die-hard fan, this is your must-have companion for exploring London in a whole new way.

Peaky Blinders Location Guide
Peaky Blinders Location Guide is a perfect companion to the worldwide BBC hit series set in the gritty industrial heart of early twentieth-century Britain. Tommy Shelby might be a West Midlands gangster, but most of the series is shot in the north of England! The Black Country Living Museum, Dudley, is open all year round to the public. It's the perfect place for the Shelbys to stash illicit goods, situated as it is on a working canal. And as the museum is decked out in period guise to display the West Midlands' industrial heritage, it's ready for a TV production company to roll up. Further north, Manchester's impressive 1877 town hall is used when Sam Neill's character meets Churchill, while the city's Grade II-listed Edwardian swimming pool, the Victoria Baths, was mocked up for a horse fair. Before the Luftwaffe visited in World War II, there were many streets like Admiral Grove and Powis Street in Liverpool 8. Ringo Starr grew up there, and it doubles for the Shelbys' home street in Birmingham's Small Heath. What the Wirral is to Liverpool, Sutton Coldfield is to Small Heath--the gentrified suburbs. Aunt Polly's Sutton Coldfield House is filmed in Port Sunlight, a model industrial village on the Wirral that has been preserved thanks to its single ownership and strict leaseholds. There are many station scenes in Peaky Blinders, especially the gripping finale to the first series, when the devious Inspector Campbell confronts Grace. As the scene fades, a shot rings out... You can retrace their steps at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway in Yorkshire, which once served mills and villages in the Worth Valley. Other sites include Brooke's Mill, at Armitage near Huddersfield (playing a gypsy camp), Leeds' Town Hall (an art gallery), Newby Hall & Gardens, Ripon (Grace's undercover meeting location), Arley Hall, Cheshire (Tommy's country house), and City Varieties, Leeds (a vaudeville theater). Coming soon in series six, the harbor at Portsoy in Aberdeenshire will be standing in for a French port. No doubt smuggling will be involved.

111 Places in Manchester That You Shouldn't Miss
This book will also take you to alternative Manchester - Radical Manchester, Literary Manchester, and of course to Madchester, the crazy music scene. Revised and updated edition. Manchester is far more than a grey provincial city preoccupied with the business of making money. The bales of cotton goods awaiting export have gone from the grand warehouses styled like palaces, and the cotton mills no longer hum with the sound of machinery. Yet the buildings remain in all their glory of tiles, terracotta and stained glass - converted to hotels, offices, chic apartments, hipster bars, fine eateries or gritty drinking dens. The textile trade may have disappeared, but you can find sustainable fashion in the old rag-trade district, and top quality coats and jackets are still being hand-sewn in the last remaining family-owned clothing factory. This book will also take you to alternative Manchester - Radical Manchester from Peterloo to the Pankhursts, Literary Manchester from Elizabeth Gaskell to Anthony Burgess, and of course to Madchester, the crazy music scene of Morrissey, Tony Wilson, the Hacienda and Factory Records.
