'A fascinating and beautifully illustrated book about the Livery Companies ... a must-buy for anyone with an interest in the history of the City' -Vincent Keaveny CBE, former Lord Mayor of the City of London
The City Unlocked traces the history of the City of London through portraits of the individual Livery Companies from the medieval trades of the Drapers, Mercers and Goldsmiths, through to the professions of the present day, such as the Information Technologists and Tax Advisers. It shows how the development of the Companies mirrors the economic history of the City, and the nation as a whole.
Working closely with the Companies themselves, the authors reveal the hidden histories, customs and origins of each Company. Entries are illustrated with treasures taken from the Companies' archives, some seen or photographed for the first time.
Written by two City insiders both liverymen of the Stationers' Company, The City Unlocked provides fascinating accounts of individual Companies and a new perspective on the economic history of the City of London.
