Charles Holden (1875-1960) is best known for the London Underground stations he designed for the London Passenger Board in the 1920s and 30s. Born in Bolton 1875, Holden was later a partner in the Adams, Holden and Pearson Partnership, one of the most prolific and successful firms in Britain. Throughout his long career his designs embraced modernism and classical traditions. This study provides an overview of his long and varied career introducing the reader to the complete range of his work. Like new.
