Title: Housing: With Particular Reference to Post-War Housing Schemes
Description: London, LCC 1928 193pp, many plans and photographs, folded colour map inserted in pocket on fep 25x16, blue cloth Top and bottom of spine worn with small area lost, browning to back of map, couple of closed splits to map, browing on ffep and half title, generally good thus. A follow-up of sorts to the LCC's publications from 1900 on the 'Housing Question' and from 1913 on the 'Housing of the Working Class', with a summary of what the Council had achieved over the intervening years. A striking statistic from the preface is that the LCC was about to build nearly 10,000 new homes during the 1927-28 financial year when it had only produced the same number in the whole of the 20 years before 1914. Schemes on the map include many inner London ones, but also the 'overspill' estates such as St Helier in Mordern and the White Hart Lane Estate in Tottenham (now known as Tower Gardens. Cox, who had written the first work back in 1900, oversaw the production of this one; the bulk of the writing and research was done by a Mr Goodman White.
