Publications of Canterbury Urban Studies Centre (CUSC) and Canterbury Environment Centre (CEC)
Between 1977 and 2002 Canterbury Urban Studies Centre and Canterbury Environment Centre published around 30 guides and city trails describing various aspects of Canterbury’s past. Both organisations were based in St Alphege church.
Between them they produced 14 titles in the ‘Trails’ series, and a further 16 titles outside the main series. All are now out of print and many are difficult (a few impossible) to find through normal second hand sources. Many contain information that is not readily available in other printed or on line sources.
CHAS is scanning a selection of these publications for uploading to the CHAS website as PDFs. In this way a new generation of readers and researchers can have access to this unique resource. The front pages of some of these publications are shown immediately below. Click on each image to enlarge it. Please note that CHAS did not produced these leaflets and cannot vouch for the accuracy of the contents.
