Nicholson Guides
The Nicholson Guides are a set of books originally published by Robert Nicholson Publications, then jointly by Bartholomew and the Ordnance Survey, and now by HarperCollins, as guides to the navigable and un-navigable waterways of England and Wales (and, more recently, Scotland).

Generally, each page includes a map of a section of the waterway with features such as bridges, locks, boatyards and services. Each section of the map includes references to nearby pubs, towns and villages, roads and railways. Robert Nicholson had published a series of guides to London in the 1960s, before realising that there was nothing about the River Thames, so in 1969 he published ''Nicholson's Guide to the Thames''. With the rise of leisure boating in the early 1970s, British Waterways commissioned Nicholson to write a series of guides t ...

During 1969, Crest made its first diversification via the acquisition of En-Tout-Cas, a leading firm in tennis court construction. Two years later, it purchased Tony Pidgley’s earth moving business; Pidgley teamed up with Jim Farrer, a board member and originally the estate agent who had provided Skinner with his first land. These two ran Crest’s housing until 1975, at which point they left to form Berkeley Homes. In 1972, a new holding company, Crest Securities, was formed to facilitate further diversification. At the end of that year, Crest ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
