Housing for the Common Man : Social Architecture of the 16th to 19th Century

This lecture provides the other side of the story. It examines the houses that the common working man and his family would have occupied and it charts the social history and the changes that occurred to domestic architecture from the 16th through to the 19th century. This isn’t always a happy story and there are periods of extreme poverty and disease before the cultural and economic improvements of the 19th century occurred. The houses we live in today are a direct reflection of the historical developments explored in this interesting lecture.
