West Ham and the River Lea explores the environmental and social
history of London's most populous independent suburb and its second
largest river. Jim Clifford maps the migration of industry into
West Ham's marshlands and reveals the consequences for the
working-class people who lived among the factories. He argues that
poverty, pollution, water shortages, and disease stimulated
momentum for political transformation, providing an opening for a
new urban politics to emerge. This book establishes the importance
of the urban environment in the development of social democracy in
Greater London at the turn of the twentieth century.
