            Deep dive index
            Biographies of individual buildings: who built them and why? How did people respond to it, use it? These long-form essays - or deep dives - are researched and sourced.

                    The deep dive emails explore a single building. Who built it, and why? How did people respond to it? What does the future hold for it?
My most recent deep dive is normally behind a paywall. This is to help me cover my costs. You can upgrade (£3 a month) to read the latest post and to get early access to future deep dives.

These deep dives have now had the paywall lifted so the information and research is in the public domain.
