From The Call, paper of the British Socialist Party, February 5 1920
THE WORKERS of Croydon are very much incensed at the kind of workmen’s dwellings now being erected on the Norbury estate ... The workers protest that the rooms are too small, and that there are twice or three times more cottages per acre than there should be. Public meetings are being organised to give voice to their objections. And now comes the most gratifying feature of these protests: we hear that the building trade workers engaged on the building propose to cease work if the plans are not modified. They object to build houses which they assert are not good enough for their class to live in.
