The 1930s Home provides a realistic portrait of a very diverse, and always fascinating, decade in British social history.

In the 1930s Britain underwent the most profound economic crisis of the twentieth century, with high unemployment, wage cuts, benefit cuts and a deterioration in living standards. Yet, industrial output saw remarkable growth between 1935 and 1938 and a housing boom brought smart new houses to replace slums.

Learn about:
- How communities benefited from cheaper commodities and improved social services
- The more diverse leisure activities that were possible due to new technology, transport improvements and the provision of paid holidays

This compact, illustrated introduction, is ideal for the amateur social historian and the expert alike.
