Throughout the 19th and early-20th centuries, the movement cultivated an image of being a champion of home ownership for the working classes, but housing historians have questioned whether building societies really lived up to this claim. This study fills a major gap in the historiography of the movement by investigating the class profile of building society members, and how the design of different building societies affected their accessibility, efficiency, and risk-taking practices between 1880 and 1939. 000798762 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on September 5, 2016). 000798762 650_0 $$aSavings and loan associations$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000798762 650_0 $$aSavings and loan associations$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000798762 650_0 $$aHome ownership$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000798762 650_0 $$aHome ownership$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000798762 650_0 $$aWorking class$$xDwellings$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000798762 650_0 $$aWorking class$$xDwellings$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000798762 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9780198787808 000798762 830_0 $$aOxford historical monographs. 000798762 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000798762 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787808.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000798762 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:798762$$pGLOBAL_SET 000798762 980__ $$aEBOOK 000798762 980__ $$aBIB 000798762 982__ $$aEbook 000798762 983__ $$aOnline
