"Awakening to a shriek, reminiscent of the end of a dark dream: Exploring the architectural creations of the 'Independent Gothic Faction'."
In the heart of London, digital commissioning editor James Fisher curates a unique platform that offers more than just updates on exquisite houses and the beauty of Nature. His platform, which includes the popular Newsletter, aims to provide tips for getting the most from life.
Apart from his digital duties, James Fisher is also a prolific blogger. His blog, "Less Eminent Victorians," delves into the lesser-known but equally fascinating Victorian architects. One such architect is Robert Lewis Roumieu, whose works have left an indelible mark on the city's skyline.
Roumieu, an architectural historian and independent scholar, is the mind behind the striking 33-35 Eastcheap in the City of London. The building, often described as 'the scream you wake on at the end of a nightmare' by Ian Nairn in Nairn's London, is a testament to Roumieu's innovative and unconventional style.
Another of Roumieu's creations is Milner Square in Islington, a building that can be visited many times and still not be absolutely certain that you have seen it anywhere but in an unhappy dream, as John Summerson once put it.
Edmund Harris, an architectural historian, explores these architects and more in his book "Rogue Goths." The book, densely illustrated with photography by Robin Forster, also includes sketches and drawings, as well as supplemental imagery from Historic England's collection.
The book sheds light on the three architects referred to as the "real rogue Goths" in the new book by The Victorian Society and Historic England - James Brooks, William White, and George Gilbert Scott Jr.
James Fisher, who is also the deputy digital editor of Countrylife.co.uk, expresses his interest in publishing good stories. Readers are encouraged to email him with their own fascinating tales. Whether it's about motoring, travel, or things that upset them, Fisher is always eager to share these stories with his audience.
So, if you're looking for a fresh perspective on Victorian architecture or simply want to receive updates on the exquisite and the extraordinary, be sure to subscribe to James Fisher's platform. Each day brings a new adventure, straight to your inbox.
