  • Part Four: Victorian and Edwardian Housing
    Part Four: Victorian and Edwardian Housing The period between the accession of Queen Victoria and the start of the First World War encompasses two architectural era’s; Victorian (1837–1901), covering the reign of Queen Victoria; and Edwardian (1901–1914), the latter also covering the first four years of the reign of King George V as well as the reign of King Edward VII. When Victoria became Queen in 1837, the country was still essentially a rural economy, but by 1914, it had become essentially an industrialised nation. A Victorian Terrace as a ’continuation’ of terraced houses from the late Georgian/Regency period. A dwelling from the last decade of the nineteenth century. Edwardian semi-detached houses (the house in the background is from the later inter-war period) As observed earlier in regard to Georgian housing The Industrial Revolution of the late eighteenth century and the nineteenth century led to the mass movement of the population from the countryside to those urban centres where manufacturing took place. It created the need for huge numbers of houses to be constructed for workers, managers and employers. The total population roughly doubled between 1801 and 1851. It did so again between1851 and 1911 to approximately 43 million people. Much of the demand for new housing was achieved by speculative development. Landowners and builders often undertook this in a piecemeal fashion and this can be seen today where Victorian streets often follow original field patterns. Housing for workers was rapidly erected as cheaply as possible in streets of small and medium-sized terraced housing, generally of two to four storeys but sometimes five-storey buildings, many being subdivided to house several families.

  • Launches Hampstead Heritage Trail
    “NORTHERN HEIGHTS PARTNERSHIP” LAUNCHES HAMPSTEAD HERITAGE TRAIL A Celebration of the launch of the Hampstead Heritage Trail took place on Monday evening, 11 June at Burgh House, Hampstead. A new 15 mile trail from Camden Town to Alexandra Palace, is described in 5 individual booklets, covering a total of 500 points of interest. The trail runs via Belsize Park, Hampstead, Hampstead Garden Suburb and East Finchley. The evening was jointly hosted by the Highgate Society, the Heath & Hampstead Society, the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust and the Hornsey Historical Society – neighbouring amenity groups, who joined forces to create the Hampstead Heritage Trail. The creation of the Trail follows the Highgate Society’s successful launch last June of the first two booklets of a five part, nine mile “Circular Walk around London’s Northern Heights, covering Highgate, Hampstead and Hampstead Heath”. The remaining three booklets in this series are now also available at local bookshops. Richard Webber from the Highgate Society, came up with the original idea for the 9 mile Circular Walk and was then asked by three neighbouring amenity groups to create additional booklets for their own areas. He said, “planning policies make frequent reference to ‘the fringes of Hampstead Heath’, the latter being the jewel in the crown of leisure destinations. However innovations in town planning introduced by Nash at Regents Park, by Dame Henrietta Barnett and Unwin at Hampstead Garden Suburb and by Edmondson and Collins in Muswell Hill, would arguably not be where they are, without their proximity to the public open spaces we all cherish.” Each walk starts and ends at a point easily accessible by public transport, and includes a detailed route map with places for refreshment on the way.
