Description
This booklet, based on a conference held in York, looks at the development, protection and modern usage of city walls. It considers changes in how walls have been utilised since their original defensive function became obsolete. It examines the processes and costs of maintaining the walls in the 21st century and some of the organisations involved in protecting them.
