A talk by Stewart Eliott.
The presentation will begin with an overview of the place of the village in the economic and social life of England on the eve of the Industrial Revolution and of the developments impacting upon it at that time. It will then examine the consequences for the English village of the unprecedented industrial and social change which took place between the closing decades of the 18th century and middle of the 19th century. The presentation will then move on to consider the English village in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution. Inter-war developments will be described and the story brought up to the present day by way of a review of post-Second World War changes, a discussion of the contemporary concept of the village and a consideration of the current “crisis” of the English village.
