This fascinating survey ranges from the communal buildings of the
early 19th-century political radicals, Owenites and Chartists,
through Arts and Crafts influenced socialist structures of the late
Victorian and Edwardian period to the grand union `castles' of the
mid twentieth century. There are also chapters on the ubiquitous
co-operative architecture, long forgotten socialist holiday camps,
and those memorials associated with the hidden story of radical
ex-servicemen and their remembrance of war dead. The countryside is
also not forgotten with rural labour buildings, as well as the
clubhouses of idealistic socialist cyclists. The book though is not
just about bricks and mortar but uncovers the social history of the
men and women who worked so hard locally to achieve their goals.
Though many buildings have been lost over the years, the book
outlines the recent struggle for their preservation and details
many which can still be visited.
