Hidden Killers of the English Home

Hidden Killers of the English Home

We all know that "an Englishman's home is his castle." British historian Suzannah Lipscomb beckons us to get off the sofa and look closely at legendary structures from Edwardian, Victorian, Tudor, and even modern times. The myth of the historic English home, with its legendary comforts and warmth, quickly yields to a nightmare of infestations, toxic materials, and unsafe construction practices.

    The dawn of the 20th century ushered in an era of fresh inventions and innovations: Electricity, refrigeration and many other materials promised to make life easier and more convenient. But lack of understanding meant that they frequently led to death.
