Dreamstreets : a journey through Britain's village utopias
Yallop, Jacqueline2016
Books
20 years ago, Jacqueline Yallop began her working life leading guided walks at a small village high in the fells of the North Pennines. Built by philanthropic employers for families working the lead mines, the isolated settlement was one of a network of 'model' villages which sprang up across Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries. In this work, she visits, and re-visits, some of these utopian experiments to explore their rich histories and to understand the social, political and cultural contexts from which they emerged.
