Social History of Housing 1815–1985

<p>Originally published in 1986 for the second edition of this standard text (previously only covering up to 1970) in <i>A Social History of Housing 1815–1985</i> John Burnett has extended his study to take account of the next fifteen years. It remains a comprehensive and important survey covering over a century and a half of developments in housing conditions both urban and rural public and private and tracing the evolution of mass housing through by-law terraces back-to-backs and the tower block to the low-rise high-density estates of the 1980s.</p>
