Description: | Raymond Unwin, Edwin Lutyens and Barry Parker designed this gardened district some 7 miles from central London. Founded in 1907, Hampstead Garden Suburb developed from an idea conceived by the socialist Dame Henrietta Barnett. Together with her husband, Canon Barnett, Henrietta wanted to create a beautiful environment where people from all classes could live together as neighbours.
In the early stages of the development, groups of large and small houses were design to integrate harmoniously with trees, hedgerows and land. The houses in this photo were built in Northway.
Edwin Smith photographed the suburb as an example of early 20th-century domestic town planning. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Edwin Smith/RIBA Library | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 1931-1970 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
