]]> In 1666, London’s citizens woke to see the skyline above their city’s cramped wooden houses ablaze. Illustrated by James Weston Lewis, the events of November 1666 come to life, from the single smouldering coal that falls out of the baker’s oven to the swirling clouds of ash that engulfed the city. As the pages turn, pupils witness London burning to the ground and then rebuilding.

]]> Think of the street you live on. Now think of how it may have looked in the Stone Age in 10,000 BCE, or in Victorian times during the Industrial Revolution, or how it may look 50 years from now. 

A Street Through Time takes you on a time-traveling journey that you won’t forget. Highly detailed illustrations bring 15 key periods in time to life. You will see magnificent buildings go up and come down, new churches built on the site of ancient temples, wooden bridges destroyed and then remade in stone, and statues demolished then unearthed many years later. You’ll find out how people lived long ago – the tools they used, what they wore and what they did all day.
