Social Provision in Rural Wiltshire (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This title, first published in 1952, addresses an urgent rural problem, whether our ancient market centres and administrative boundaries were still the effective centres and boundaries of everyday rural life, and, if not, what were. It sheds new light on the problem by taking a typical English rural county and studying it in detail.
