VG.** "Silver End can be seen to be both an end and a beginning. It was the final attempt by an enlightened employer to provide an ideal environment for his workers, the end of a long tradition started by the mill owner Robert Owen at New Lanark at the start of the nineteenth century, and continued by Titus Salt at Saltaire, Lever at Port Sunlight, Rowntree at New Earswick and Cadbury at Bournville. It was also part of the garden village movement - Silver End was the first garden village in Essex. The village was a practical response to the deep social problems of its time - the problems of housing shortage and slum dwellings, unemployment and industrial unrest, the problem of finding work for the disabled war veterans. It was also a solution to the immediate problem of Francis Crittall - That of finding sufficient housing for his expanding workforce." (SusanKingSilverEnd org)..
