Aldgate area of London in 1873-1894 in a series of exceptionally detailed reproductions of old Ordnance Survey street plans for areas of larger cities which have undergone substantial redevelopment in the late 19th or the early 20th century, published in the Alan Godfrey Editions. The plans, printed in back & white, have been taken from the original Ordnance Survey mapping at 1:1, 056 & reproduced at 1:1, 760 – the equivalent of 36 inches (or one yard) to a mile.

Alentejo Blue is the story of the Portuguese village of Mamarrosa told through the lives of those who live there & those who are passing through
- men & women, children & old people, locals, tourists & expatriates. For some, such as Teresa, a beautiful, dreamy village girl, it is a place from which to escape; for others
- the dysfunctional Potts family
- it is a way of running from trouble (but not eluding it). Vasco, a cafe owner who has never recovered from the death of his American wife, clings to a notion that his years in America make him superior to the other villagers. One English tourist makes Mamarrosa the subject of her fantasy of a new life, while for her compatriots, a young engaged couple, Mamarrosa is where their dreams finally fall apart. At the book's opening an old man reflects on his long & troubled life in this beautiful & seemingly tranquil setting, & anticipates the return of Marco Afonso Rodrigues, the prodigal son of the village & a symbol of this now fast-changing world. The homecoming is the subject of continuing speculation, & when Marco Afonso Rodrigues does finally appear, villagers, tourists & expatriates are brought together & jealousies, passions & disappointments must inevitably collide.
