Res.1.6 Male resident, c.30 yrs, married, corporation tenant, male interviewer, 1 December 1960

 Item
Identifier: EUA IN1/ACU/S3/4/2/1/6

Scope and Contents

This visit was to arrange a date for an interview. INTVEE lives in a top flat of a three storey block with his wife and children. INTVER describes the communal entrance hall to the block as "grubby, kicked" and having "the look of the basements of public swimming baths" but notes that the outside grass plot is well kept. A short corridor at the entrance of the flat leads to the living room. The kitchen opens off the living room directly. INTVEE thinks there is nowhere for the children to play, no open space. He is a member of the local football club. His main criticism of the flats is they are not noise proof. INTVER describes the project as talking about the variety of housing and its social effects, what kinds of differences things like shopping and schooling make to people, the emergence of clubs and associations.
