Abstract

This study uses local historical archives and oral histories to map historical factors that may be impotant in understanding contemporary inequalities in health. Focusing on housing clearances in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, the pilot study drew on a wide range of materials (documentary and oral) to explore how changes to local housing impacted upon the local social and psychological landscape.
