The incidence of slum clearance in England and Wales, 1955–85
The article begins by showing the differential impact of slum clearance on regions, conurbations and major cities through the three decades of the slum clearance campaign which began in 1955. It discusses the main methods of clearance procedure, the nature of compensation and the relation of clearance to ‘unfit’ housing. House condition surveys revealed an increasing mismatch between patterns of unfit housing and those of slum clearance and this …
Public policy, urban renewal and property ownership, 1945-55
Although plans for urban renewal after 1945 were largely based on clearance and redevelopment, the changed circumstances of post-war Britain also favoured a revival of interest in the repair and improvement of older housing. The article looks at the different approaches of Aneurin Bevan and Harold Macmillan, and at the reasons why only limited, if useful, progress was made. It stresses the significance of a repairs backlog in conjunction with the…

L. C. C. Slum Clearance Policies, 1889-1907
The London County Council had a crucial role in the development of housing policies in late Victorian England. This paper is concerned with the period of Progressive rule between 1889 and 1907. This is divided into two phases, each of which began with major slum clearance schemes, and ended with clearance out of favour. In the first period the Council tried to act indirectly by pressuring landlords and Vestries into remedial action, supported by …

National Distributions
This chapter aims to describe the general geographical and chronological distributions of the major enclosure types, and in reverse to examine the localities in which common field survived longest. It will serve also to introduce some of the evidence on which the recognition of these types and distributions is based. As mentioned earlier, it is not intended to provide any detailed region-by-region survey, but only to describe national distributio…
The Local Community
Arthur Young, noting that the French had devised no system equivalent to the English enclosure by Act, added that ‘under the new government which is establishing in France I have great doubts whether any progress can ever be made ... as far as the present constitution can be understood it is the will of the people that is to govern; and I know of no country where the people are not against enclosures’ [Young, 1794, 395]. Enclosure was greeted gru…
Common Field and Farm Production
‘The necessity of universal agreement among proprietors especially where they are numerous is an almost insurmountable obstruction to any improvements being made in lands during their open field state.’ So wrote Homer in his essay on enclosure in 1766 [ 7–8 ], propounding a thesis that was once widely accepted. Indeed, a very reasonable theoretical argument can be made out to support it. The common fields, it could be said, were originally design…
Enclosure and Farming Systems
Although the changes in output brought about by parliamentary enclosure were similar in kind, if not in degree, to those that earlier enclosures had produced, its effects are none the less worthy of separate and more detailed study. This last main wave of enclosure produced more informative contemporary comment than its predecessors had done. There is some statistical evidence that considerably improves the potential for comparative studies of co…
Enclosure and Farming Systems
Gonner believed that it was by means of enclosure that agricultural output was shaped to meet the changing requirements of markets, and that ‘the differentiation of land to the use which soil aspect and climate rendered it suitable took place’ [ 329 ]. In previous chapters I have argued that this view is exaggerated. Common-field farming in early modern England was more adapted to markets, and to soils and other features, and its output varied mo…
Land-holding
Enclosure was intimately connected with the changing structure of landholding, and the nature of this relationship is perhaps the central issue of the whole enclosure story. It is generally agreed that the period under consideration saw a decisive shift towards a distinctively English pattern of large tenanted farms, and that this reflected increased commercialisation, and with it the adaptation of farm structures, and indeed rural societies, to …
Postscript
At the beginning of this investigation I was informed by some that enclosure was now a dead issue, while others maintained, like Chambers and Mingay [ 82 ], that ‘the complexity of the question and the important geographical variations make enclosure one of the most intractable and yet fascinating of historical problems’. Although enclosure was an important process in the emergence of the modern economic and social order, it does not offer any si…
The Layout of Land
‘In Rural Economy,’ wrote William Marshall [1788, 125 ],’ straight lines and right angles are first principles which can seldom be deviated from with propriety.’ In fact, his approach was not as dogmatic as this bold statement suggests, yet such lines and angles are indeed one of the best known and most striking features of parliamentary enclosure. Nowhere is the effect of enclosure so clearly evident as in its direct representation in the layout…

Piecemeal and Partial Enclosures
Piecemeal enclosure is a term that covers a range of processes that have been accorded little study compared with the more spectacular general types. Yet they need even more careful consideration, for they arose from a variety of complicated situations. Moreover, very good evidence is necessary for a satisfactory study of piecemeal enclosure; evidence not only about townships but about the structure of many or all of the individual holdings. Unli…
General Enclosures
The process of general enclosure now needs to be examined more closely through detailed discussion of regional examples. Emphasis is still placed on the distributional aspects of enclosure, on chronology and the geographical mix of closes and common field that existed at various dates. But I hope also to demonstrate the manner in which these relate to, and express, the social and economic factors that controlled the enclosure process, both in agg…
National Distributions and their Explanation
An understanding of the enclosure history outlined in the last chapter requires resort to a very varied range of explanations, even if attention is mainly confined to those factors that seem to underlie the larger-scale regional distinctions. Because of this, it is necessary to begin any discussion of the matter at a general level: to deal not so much with the detailed combination of factors that might apply in any particular region, but with the…
