Images of England
Images of England was an English Heritage project intended to create a freely accessible online database of the 370,000 listed properties in England at a snapshot in time at the turn of the millennium. Each database entry includes a representative photograph and a description of the building written by an expert architectural historian. The project is now closed and only those properties that were designated as at February 2001 are recorded.

Famous quotes containing the words images of, images and/or england:
“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“no images of pastoral will,
But fear, thirst, hunger, and huddled chill.”
—James Vincent Cunningham (1911–1985)
“What a pity it is that we have no amusements in England but vice and religion!”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
