Basic Reading looks at
some general texts that will give you an introduction to a wide and broadly based subject.
The example pages reinforce some of the points we have been looking at in the class
sessions. Early Landore is a good example of early industrial
suburb development. Recorder Street is typical of many early
inner city areas, whilst Henrietta Street takes the story
further towards the end of the nineteenth century. New Street has
its own place in housing history and we will look at that place in great detail. The Mount Pleasant Estate is built at the end of the nineteenth
century in the classic 'urban village' style. Mount Pleasant as an
urban village takes the theme further.
Greenhill has a special
place in the history of the town because of the predominantly Irish
community that settled there and the rapid development of the very poor
housing that was built.
