Double-weighted statement
As well as investigating the factory housing at Saltaire, this book also reviews early factory housing in Cromford, Darley Abbey, Belper, Milford, Copley, Akroydon and New Lanark, and railway housing in Wolverton, Crewe and Swindon, thus placing Titus Salt’s development in its historical context. The book demonstrates that, in contradiction to the previous consensus, the size of the houses did not reflect the social hierarchy of the occupants: in fact, the smallest houses were often occupied solely by an ‘overseer’ and his wife, while the grander houses were subjected to multiple occupancy. The book involved some six years of work.
