Pioneers in a County Office
A conversation between Peter Laslett
Fellow of Trinity College. Cambridge and William Allen until last summer Chief Architect at the Building Research Station
The schools built by British local authorities over the last fifteen years have created a new and much more stimulating educational environment for children. This development was pioneered at the County Office in Hertfordshire just after the war. Speaking as a social historian Peter Laslett questions William Allen , who saw the experiment take shape, about some of the ideas underlying it.
This is the first of a group of programmes about the social and architectural implications of this successful example of public patronage.
