Description
Exploring how the Metropolitan Railway inspired suburban growth beyond London. Conceived in the Victorian era, the railway expanded far into the countryside, promoting the idea of “Metro-land” as a better way of life away from the city’s pollution. It offered working people the chance to live in comfortable homes while commuting easily, thanks to reliable rail services. Though not a real place on a map, Metro-land became a powerful vision of suburban living. HB, 176pp.
