EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases one of the cottages displayed at the Cheap Cottages exhibition held in Letchworth Garden City and Hitchin during the year 1905. The exhibition aimed to promote affordable and inexpensive housing solutions for the working class, and this particular cottage serves as a prime example of the innovative design and craftsmanship showcased at the event. The cottage exudes a charming and rustic appeal, with its thatched roof, timber frame, and intricate plasterwork. The plasterwork on display is a true testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen involved in the construction of these cottages. The delicate floral patterns and geometric designs adorning the exterior walls are a feast for the eyes, adding character and charm to the already attractive cottage. The cottage's setting further enhances its allure, with the lush greenery of the garden and the tranquil countryside in the background. The exhibition's goal was to bring the beauty and comfort of the countryside into the reach of the urban working class, and this cottage embodies that vision perfectly. The Cheap Cottages exhibition was a significant event in the history of housing in Letchworth and Hitchin, paving the way for the development of affordable and attractive housing solutions for the community. This photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and vision of those involved in the exhibition and the impact it had on the lives of many people.
