Uncovered: Thanet's Historical Housing Hotspots – Where Time Stands Still!
These heatmaps of Margate, Broadstairs, and Ramsgate visually highlight the areas with homes built between World War I and World War II. The darker red regions represent the areas with a higher concentration of homes from this period, standing out against the grey regions where no homes from that era exist.
Challenging Times for Thanet's Builders
The interwar period was marked by a challenging economic landscape. The Great Depression of the 1930s led to widespread unemployment and reduced economic activity, which made home construction difficult. Additionally, funding for public housing was limited, and high-interest rates deterred private investment. Social unrest and political instability further dampened growth in the property market.
Resilient Growth Amidst Adversity
Despite these conditions, certain areas in Thanet experienced growth, reflecting the changing housing needs and the influence of early urban planning efforts. This graphic provides a fascinating insight into the area's development and offers a window into a unique chapter of British housing history.
