Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The group grew out of an Workers' Educational Association course on working class housing. When the course finished in 1982 some of the members wished to continue researching early working class housing development. They aimed to record surviving examples, preserve in situ if possible and rescue a typical example for relocation in a museum
