The Victorian Society Book of the Victorian House
£1.60
Britain’s towns and cities still contain hundreds of thousands of Victorian houses, ranging from grand town houses to more modest houses for mill workers.

this book was not that useful for me I was hoping to get more ideas about style and design in keeping with the house but up to date – this was a rather dull history textbook, ok if you want to recreate the original but not really practically helpful for me
by The Whites
A lovely book full of loads of ideas for your Victorian House. We have recently bought a terrace needing a lot of work and is proving a wonderful source of tips and ideas.
by Twist Barbie
Very practical coverage of these houses. Nicely written and well finished. Best book of it’s type that I could find. I’d also recommend the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings equivalent book.

Interesting and informative book, especially good read for people like myself who have bought a Victorian house and are doing it up. It has lot to offer and makes you rethink all the changes that so many people have done to their properties against the character of the houses.
by Hedda
An excellent compendium of victorian architecture, style and techniques. A great source of ideas for renovators of victorian properties and devotees of an age when craftmanship and quality were key principles. Packed with beautiful photographs and very interesting supporting text.

Has it all, very useful
by Sue Smith
Good reference book for that era’
by Arty
Maybe a little dated but most of the references at the back still exist so useful if renovating a Victorian property
