This attractive booklet, produced to accompany an exhibition in Aberystwyth in September 2008, contains historic images of eighteenth and early nineteenth century Welsh country houses from The Georgian Group’s archives. Among those depicted are Hafod, Thomas Johnes’s remarkable Gothick creation that was demolished in the 1950s, and a rare depiction of charming Coldbrook House in Monmouthshire, also now lost.
