This is Historic Britain by M. Sasek

From the spectacular Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace to a dark alley and a local pub once frequented by Samuel Johnson; from bustling Trafalgar Square, where Lord Nelson presides over the lions and pigeons, to a small cottage in a sleepy Cheshire village where Nelson's mistress grew up, one sees Britain as a land of fascintating contrasts. It is a land of long tradition, too. Windsor Castle, whose nearby meadows were the site of the signing of the Magna Carta, is still a favoured residence of Britain's Royal family.

Sasek's panoramic tour encompasses the many facets of this remarkable nation, from the mystery of Stonehenge to the contradition of The New Place at Stratford-upon-Avon where Shakespear was buried.
Among his stops are places of world renown: Carlisle, famous for Bonnie Prince Charlie's colourful ride; Canterbury, famous for its Archbishop and its tales; Yorkshire, famous for its puddings and moors; and Liverpool, famous for The Beatles.
Here is a three-language nation of grand palaces and lofty cathedrals, where lake bottoms play host to castles, clans and monsters and where motor-car tycoons share immortality with kings.
