To Generate Change. to Tackle Causes Not Symptoms, to Find Solutions Not To generate change. To tackle causes not symptoms, to find solutions not palliatives. To recognise that we all need to give as well as to receive. To appreciate that those who experience a problem understand it best and to help the smaller voices to be heard. To act local but think global, to teach but never stop learning. To celebrate the diversity that enriches our society and challenge the inequalities that diminish us all. To collaborate, because it isn’t some of our activities that change complex lives, but the sum of them all. To be ambitious for the work that we believe in – but to build a network, not an empire. To be driven by dreams and judged on delivery. Never to do things for people but to guide and support, to train and enable. To simply inspire.

  • Historical and Contemporary Archaeologies of Social Housing: Changing Experiences of the Modern and New, 1870 to Present
    Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Emma Dwyer School of Archaeology and Ancient History University of Leicester 2014 Thesis abstract: Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Emma Dwyer This thesis has used building recording techniques, documentary research and oral history testimonies to explore how concepts of the modern and new between the 1870s and 1930s shaped the urban built environment, through the study of a particular kind of infrastructure that was developed to meet the needs of expanding cities at this time – social (or municipal) housing – and how social housing was perceived and experienced as a new kind of built environment, by planners, architects, local government and residents. This thesis also addressed how the concepts and priorities of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the decisions made by those in authority regarding the form of social housing, continue to shape the urban built environment and impact on the lived experience of social housing today. In order to address this, two research questions were devised: How can changing attitudes and responses to the nature of modern life between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries be seen in the built environment, specifically in the form and use of social housing? Can contradictions between these earlier notions of the modern and new, and our own be seen in the responses of official authority and residents to the built environment? The research questions were applied to three case study areas, three housing estates constructed between 1910 and 1932 in Birmingham, London and Liverpool.

  • Housing the Workers Early London County Council Housing 1889-1914
    Housing the Workers Early London County Council Housing 1889-1914 Martin Stilwell August 2015 Part 4 – Conclusions _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Early LCC Housing – Part 4 Page 1 of 10 © Martin Stilwell 2015 The Legacy The LCC continued with major building programmes after WW1 and the unfinished pre-WW1 garden estates were completed. The blocks built between the wars were similar to those built in the 1900s with the only obvious visual difference being that those with external walkways usually had the balcony walls in brick rather than the iron railings of the earlier blocks. All blocks were designed to have a fairly plain but solid neo-Georgian look with regularly-placed symmetrical windows, but few of the Art and Crafts-influenced design features to the roofs or windows that were present in the earlier blocks. Fig. 1: All the LCC housing developments to 1937i As can be seen from the red dots in Fig. 1 above, a considerable number of blocks were built. The first major post-WW1 block development was to continue with the Tabard Street improvement in Southwark which resulted in the Tabard Garden Estate (all blocks, despite the name). Blocks were also built in Hughes Field Deptford to accompany those built before WW1. Some schemes were very large for blocks-only developments. As examples, Clapham Park Estate (1930-36) was on 16 acres and provided for 4,900 people, and Honor Oak, Brockley (1932-24) was on 30 acres and provided for 6,800 people. Although these estates are physically large, their density per acre was much lower that for Boundary Street (368/acres on 15 acres) and Millbank (443/acre on 10 acres).

  • Gazetteer of Modern Architecture in Putney and Roehampton
    Modern Architecture in Putney & Roehampton Love it or loathe it, in among the Victorian and Edwardian terraces and office blocks of SW15, we have some wonderful modern architecture. There are some absolute gems of design – some the heritage of tomorrow, and some not so good but too big to ignore. This Modern Architecture in SW15 gazetteer of about 85 entries isn’t comprehensive, it’s quite a subjective selection and we make no apology for leaving out those just ‘keeping in keeping’. There are many more unexceptional blocks of flats and too many houses in well or badly done period dress. We hope that what we have included will open your eyes to the delights of twentieth and twenty‐first century architecture. The Gazetteer is below. We expect to add highlights in downloadable walking trails. Please note that many of these properties are private, even public buildings such as schools. All the images have been taken from the public highway but of course we hope that the owners, proud of what they have and of the public interest in them, will think about opening up their properties on occasion, for example through London Open House for us all to enjoy. Have fun! Educational E1 Oasis Academy, Putney Common, 2016, by Sprunt Architects; Durkan Construction The scheme completed in 2016 in partnership with the London Borough of Wandsworth provides a new primary school at Putney Green. Located on the former Putney Hospital site on the edge of Putney Common, the school was financed with cross subsidy proceeds from the sale of 24 new apartments at the northern end.

It is in two parts: a Character Appraisal and a Management Strategy. The Character Appraisal provides factual information regarding the Conservation Area. The Management Strategy gives specific planning guidance and enhancement advice. Conservation areas were introduced by the Civic Amenities Act 1967 to safeguard areas of “special architectural or historic interest.” Totterdown Fields was designated a Conservation Area on the 19th September 1978. On 14th June 1990 the Council sought to further protect the area’s appearance and special character through an Article 4 Direction. This Direction removes certain permitted development rights, which means that demolition or part removal, or erection of a front boundary treatment now requires planning permission - affecting properties along, Derington Road, Lessingham Avenue, Cowick Road, Coteford Road, Okeburn Road, Fransiscan Road, Ruslip Street and Church Lane.
