The Five-Shilling Cottages, by Helen Deaton
Booklet published by the Barnes and Mortlake History Society, 28 pages. A5 size booklet (N6315X1)
From the preface: It is not often that the history of a street can be researched in detail from its planning stage to its demolition. West Road has proved to be a notable exception. Access to the Census returns for 1901 and 1911, newspaper articles, Barnes Urban District Council minute books, Kelly's Directories, architects' plans and the memories of the people who lived in the road, meant that I was able to put together an intimate picture of life in a 20th century street.
There are sections on West Road Mortlake, West Road's Origins - Fairfax House, the 1911 Census at West Road, The First World War, growing up in West Road - one girls memories, and West Road in later years.
The condition of the booklet is generally good. The cover has one or two minor scuffs but is clean and bright, the staple spine is intact and all pages are clean, intact, unblemished and tightly bound.
When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
