City of Our Dreams - J.B. Morrell Publication

J. B. Morrell is one of the key figures in the development of the York we know today - from the development of the York Art Gallery; the conservation of many of York's historic buildings; the successful campaign for a University and the development of the Castle Museum. Beyond this was another Morrell - the politician, the mayor, and the businessman, possessed with wit, foresight and a deep care for the city of his birth. This new, meticulously researched work is the first detailed study of J. B. Morrell, charting his life, influences and legacy.
