Author Information

Cath Harries is a freelance photographer in London. During one of her commissions, she started noticing front doors and taking pictures of them. Her pastime became an obsession and then a book. Melanie Backe-Hansen began her career as the first in-house historian for a UK estate agent researching the stories behind the houses they had for sale, and so pioneered a new field in social history.
