Description: | The London County Council (L.C.C.) housing estate at Becontree, Essex was developed between 1921 and 1934.
This photo from 1928 shows a number of newly built semi-detached and terraced houses. The houses included indoor plumbing, which was an innovation in ordinary homes.
In front of the houses is a landscaped area, the grass fenced off by low concrete and metal barriers.
At the time, the Becontree estate was the largest council housing estate in the world. It eventually comprised 25,000 houses. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 11 Sep 1928 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : Topical Press | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
