Images and maps

Easy method to add a map to the infobox of an article is to use this code.

| module = {{OSM Location map
 | float = centre
 | width = 250
 | coord = {{coord}} <!-- Map centred -->
 | mark-coord = {{coord}} <!-- Marking the school-->
  | label = Hundred of Hoo Academy
  | label-pos = bottom <!-- top, bottom, right or left -->
  | zoom = 12 <!-- usually 10, 11 or 12-->
 }}

To add a map of any point, we must define the centre of the map, then say where to place the marker. This was done automatically in the example above

1km
0.6miles

Hundred of Hoo Academy

{{OSM Location map
 | float = left
 | width = 250
 | coord = {{coord|51.41872|0.53518}} <!-- Centred -->
 | mark-coord = {{coord|51.42172|0.55018}} 
  | label = Hundred of Hoo Academy 
  | label-pos = bottom
 | zoom = 12}} <!-- marking the school-->

Chloropleth

A map with a complex caption

[[File:Schengen Area participation.svg|thumb|{{legend|#0088cc|EU member states participating}} 
      {{legend|#ffff00|EU member states not participating but obliged to join}} 
      {{legend|#ff6666|EU member states with an opt-out}} 
      {{legend|#7CFC00|non-EU member states participating}} 
      {{legend|#FFA500|non-EU member states de facto participating}} 
      {{legend|#4B0082|non-EU member states with an open border}}
]]

This map is a chloropleth meaning it displays the data relating to an area by means of a colour. It is best to use ColorBrewer to choose the colours needed.

Semi-detached council house in Seacroft, Leeds, West Yorkshire

Council houses at Hackenthorpe, South Yorkshire

A council house is a form of public or social housing built by local municipalities in the United Kingdom and Ireland. A council estate is a building complex containing a great many council houses and other amenities like schools and shops. Council houses were solidly built and distinctive in design which evolved over the period of their construction from 1919 to 1980. There were local design variation but they all stuck rigidly to Local Authority building standards^{[citation needed]}

Context

House design in the United Kingdom is defined by a series of Housing Acts.

History

First World War housing

Woolwich Borough Council was responsible for the Well Hall Estate designed for workers at the munition factories at Woolwich Arsenal. The estate and the house were built to the garden suburb philosophy: houses were all different. The estate received the royal seal of approval when on Friday, 24 March 1916, Queen Mary made an unannounced visit. ^[2]

Interwar housing

A programme of council house building started after the First World War following on from the David Lloyd George’s government’s Housing Act of 1919. The 'Addison Act' brought in subsidies for council house building and aimed to provide 500,000 "homes fit for heroes" within a three-year period although less than half of this target was met.^[3] The Housing Act of 1935 led to a continuation of this policy ^[4] and the war stopped all construction and enemy action reduced the usable housing stock. ^[3]

Post-war housing

Prefabs

The immediate post-war period saw the building of prefab bungalows with a design life of ten years. Innovative steel-framed properties were also tried in an attempt to speed up construction. The Burt Committee, saw an anticipated 200,000 shortfall in post-war housing stock, by building 500,000 prefabricated houses, with a planned life of up to 10 years. Only 156,623 prefab houses were constructed.^[5]^[6]

New Towns Act housing

In particular, Aneurin Bevan, the Minister for Health and Housing, promoted a vision of new estates where "the working man, the doctor and the clergyman will live in close proximity to each other".^[7]

Design

Progress estate houses (1916)

Homes fit for heroes houses (1918-1923)

The Addison Act 1919 houses were usually three bedroomed houses with lounge and scullery- or lounge, dining room and scullery. Some had two, four or five bedrooms, and generously sized back gardens intended for vegetable growing. At the best they were built at 12 houses per acre. Seen In Downham, Watling Estate and Becontree

Labour government homes (1924-1930)

The Addison Act 1919, and the severe housing shortage in the early 1920s created the first generation of houses to feature electricity, running water, bathrooms, indoor toilets and front/rear gardens. ^[8]

The Chamberlain Act 1923 reduced the expected standards. The Wheatley Act 1924 attempted to restore some of them. Under the Addison Act a house would be 1,000 square feet (93 m²) but after 1924 it would be 620 square feet (58 m²).^[9] This was a major period of council house construction.

Temporary prefabs (1941-1950)

All prefab units approved by the Ministry of Works had a minimum floor space size of 635 square feet (59.0 m²), and the sections were less than 7.5 feet (2.3 m) wide.^[6] ^[5]

Pre-cast reinforced concrete

1950s semi-detached PRC houses in Seacroft, Leeds, West Yorkshire

These were build by prefabrication techniques but had an expected design life of 60 years. They included various kinds such as Airey, Cornish, Wates, Unity, Reema, Tarran, Woolaway and Parkinson types.^[10]

Parker Morris homes 1971

The Parker Morris Committee drew up an influential 1961 report on housing space standards in public housing in the United Kingdom titled Homes for Today and Tomorrow. Out of the report came the Parker Morris Standards. ^[11] the external temperature is −1 °C.

Radburn Style Estates 1970s

The Radburn housing layout that aimed to separate cars from housing.
