Professionalism, Patronage and Public Service in Victorian London

The Staff of the Metropolitan Board of Works, 1856-1889

Gloria Clifton

History / General

This study of 19th-century local government examines the role of local government officials and the social origins of this growing bureaucracy. As the predecessor of the London County Council, the Metropolitan Board of Works was an important body and its officials formed a large and significant professional group, not hitherto studied in such depth.
Gloria Clifton is Emeritus Curator of the National Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory, Greenwich, UK.
