How Did Our Garden Grow?: The History of Hatton Garden

For the first time, here is the full history of Hatton Garden and the Jewellery trade, including stories of individuals who made the community what it was. Accounts and events which are usually hidden from the public's eye have been compiled by one of the Garden's best-known jewellers, Vivian Hatton, who joined the family trade in 1960, becoming the third generation. With a unique network of contacts, he has interviewed the great and the good. Richly illustrated from a private collection of hundreds of images and maps, this book will inform and entertain the reader on the secret world of diamonds and gems.
