Description
This is a government report written by David Lloyd George and published 1924. It looks at the Coal and Power industries in the UK and makes some recommendations. The Coal section contains indices which give some of the background data and submissions which informed the final report. There are very interesting sections on Lanarkshire, Wales, Durham and other English coalfields. What is particularly interesting are the descriptions of the living conditions of the workers in the various coalfields mentioned, their housing and living conditions and their social and domestic arrangements. There are several very interesting photographs of different sets of housing as well as plans of how the houses were initially constructed and then improved/renovated. The period covered is just post WW1 and the information in it would be of interest to local historians, family historians and social historians as well as anyone interested in the coal industry and the conditions of the working classes in what was a very interesting period of political history.
