Title: London Housing
Description: London, LCC 1937 xiii, 273pp, many plans and photographs, some fold out, folded colour map inserted in pocket on rep 25x16, blue cloth Cloth a bit faded and sunned, light browing to edges, very good thus. A comprehensive review of the housing schemes built by the LCC up to the late 1930s, of particular interest are the before and after photographs and maps of slum clearance schemes across the city. Also included are the major developments of the Housing Associations such as the Sutton Trust. A mixture of 1930s blocks, Garden City inspired cottage estate developments and other design approaches. A fascinating study. [At this time the Housing and Public Health Committee was chaired by Lewis Silkin; a co-opted member was the housing campaigner Elizabeth Denley]
