Chilterns to Black Country

Chilterns to Black Country is About Britain No. 5, published by Collins in 1951, with a portrait by W. G. Hoskins and Geoffrey Grigson as General Editor. The front cover carries a coloured relief map of the region from the Chilterns up to the Black Country, with the title banner above and a compass rose and date stamp of 1951 below. The back cover continues the relief map northward to Stoke on Trent and across to Birmingham and the surrounding towns. The spine shows the title and publisher, Collins, with the number 5.

The copyright page confirms the full list of About Britain titles and the 1951 Collins publication, priced 3/6 net. Inside, the paper is lightly aged with black and white photographic plates, including views of Burford and Ombersley.

The covers show heavy wear, with creasing, rubbing, and losses to the paper at the corners and spine ends, along with soiling and discoloration to the front panel.
