National Archives online talk by Melanie Backe-Hansen
After the First World War, there was a revolution of housing across Britain. The population demanded better housing for all, more investment into council housing, and changes to mortgages – all of which brought into play a much bigger rethinking of housing provision that would dominate the 1920s and extend into the 1930s.
In this fascinating talk, Melanie Backe-Hansen, house historian and author of House Histories: The Secrets Behind your Front Door, will take us into the world of houses in the 1920s.
