Home For Good - A History of Social Housing in North Eastern Derbyshire

Date: 2016-09-19

A year-long project with the aim of collecting experiences of social housing and setting them in the context of the development of legislation relating to social housing,   Home for Good ran from April 2015.  It was supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund and hosted by Derbyshire Law Centre.

With the help of volunteers, Home for Good collected experiences of residents of social housing across Chesterfield and North Eastern Derbyshire, which can be found on the website http://socialhousinghistory.org.uk/.  These include oral history, photographs, written contributions and other material, as well as a legal timeline.  

Among the aims of the project was that experiences of social housing would be recorded on film, and we were fortunate that David France, an experienced documentary film-maker, volunteered to make this film for us.  We're very grateful for his contribution and hope you enjoy watching his interviews with residents of Chesterfield and Barrow Hill in Derbyshire.
