I remember a book from my childhood (i.e. probably at least 20-30 years old) that was an encyclopedia of imagined near-future spacecraft. It was written as if those craft existed.
This wasn't a work of prose, it was a hardback book in the style of an encyclopedia with lots of illustrations. It could almost be described as a simplistic technical manual of the craft and tools.
It describes spacecraft as they might have been had the Apollo project continued - craft for landing on the moon and starting to build space habitats there.
Can anyone help me identify this please?

The one I'm specifically looking for isn't any of those unfortunately; however I'm a lover of old fictional future works so I will be looking at those, thanks!

This sounds like The Space Traveller's Handbook: Every Man's Comprehensive Manual To Space flight by Michael Freeman.
Upholding the great tradition of earthly travel guides, the space
traveller's handbook is an indispensable companion for visitors to
take to any part of the Solar System, whether tourist, hard hat
construction worker or space colonist. Written from the perspective of
100 years after the first manned orbit it gives an all-embracing view
of space flight, covering not only the sights of the Solar System, but
also the practical mechanics of rocketry and the training necessary
for travelers
