'Social Housing Homes in 25 Paintings' describes how these homes rose to prominence from the slums of the Industrial Revolution and the destruction of war-torn Britain.

Following the wars, the Government passed various Acts aimed to improve or demolish existing homes that were unfit for habitation and build the homes that we may see today.

This is an illustrated story of how these homes were built to meet the demand of the many millions of people who lived in them.

The book details various construction types used to fix holes in the demand for homes in worn-torn Britain. Many of these homes have been deemed defective for human habitation and have to had to be modernised to meet a better living standard.

The book is illustrated with original artwork that tries to evoke the relationships between the people from social housing and their homes of the day.

Reviews for SOCIAL HOUSING HOMES IN 25 PAINTINGS: AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF UK SOCIAL HOUSING

'A genuine attempt to illustrate what these new homes actually meant to the millions who lived in them. For many of baby boomers and their families, these properties gave them safety and shelter and allowed them to thrive through the generations. It allowed Britain to be what it is today.'
