Gloucester Crescent is a curving, leafy street, tucked between Camden Town & Primrose Hill, filled with the sound of clacking typewriters & children playing. It`s unremarkable in many ways, unless you notice the lady in the van outside one house, & the familiar-looking residents crossing the road.. . Written through the eyes of a growing child, this is the story of a very particular family & their circle of brilliant, idealistic & intellectual friends in London in the 60s, 70s & 80s. We follow William through the ups & downs of childhood, as he explores the back gardens & homes of his famous neighbours, attends dramatic rehearsals with his dad Jonathan Miller, fails exams & is bullied at school, gets drugs from the philosopher A. J. Ayer`s wife, & tries to watch the moon landing with Alan Bennett & a room full of writers. Hilarious, & at times heart-breaking, this is also about how we grow up & move on
- & what happens when we come back. Not only a picture of an extraordinary time in Britain`s cultural history
- & a hitherto unseen portrait of some of the brightest minds of a generation
- this book tells the funny, tender & moving story of a young boy trying to find his own identity.

A detailed topographic map from the Ordnance Survey Explorer series, covering Gloucester, Cheltenham & Stroud (showing part of the Cotswold). Edition A2 with minor changes; Publication date March 2011 About this series: These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, the road network down to unfenced roads & country tracks, & field boundaries (hedges & drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier. Steep gradients on roads are indicated. Various landmarks, e.g. powerlines, archaeological sites, windmills, churches & lighthouses are shown & additional graphics indicate natural terrain features such as cliffs, scree, mud & vegetation variations. The contour interval is 5 metres in the lower parts of the country & 10 metres in the uplands, & spot heights are marked. Each map covers an area of 30 x 20km (i.e. approx. 19 x 12 miles), with some double-sided maps covering more, as indicated in the individual descriptions. The maps are fully GPS compatible, with the National Grid shown at 1km intervals & latitude & longitude indicated by margin ticks at 1'. The Explorer series has replaced the earlier, green-cover Pathfinder maps. The Explorer series is now complete & covers all of Engl&, Wales & Scotl&. Some sheets for popular areas like the National Parks are still branded as Outdoor Leisure (OL) maps, but are now included in this series as the cartography is the same as that in the Explorer Maps.
