Improved Cottage Dwellings for the Labouring Classes, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Improved Cottage Dwellings for the Labouring Classes, 1857. The accommodation for each family consists of three sleeping-rooms, a general living room, and two stores. The ventilation commences over the entrance doors, and is carried through every room into the roof. The estimated cost of each pair is 155 guineas, so that a rent of 2s per week will give a clear return of 5 per cent on the outlay...The model has been inspected and approved by the Prince Consort...[the Labourers Friend Society had taken pains to exhibit a very complete and satisfactory model of the housing]. The tenant-farmers...are giving this movement their warm support, the following resolution being particularly satisfactory: The members of the Maidstone Farmers Club, having carefully inspected the model of improved cottage dwellings, give it their entire approval, and recommend it to the landlords of England'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
