Film clip: housing shortages

Finding shelter during a housing shortage

Still shots and description

If you hadn't the deposit you couldn't buy, you couldn't build, you had to rent. Rents were high and houses were short – you took what you could get. One room's no place for a baby, but it's a roof isn't it? It's a dining room, it's a kitchen, it's a nursery and a front hall and a laundry and a playroom and a living room – it's a room.
