"Middlesex - The Jubilee of the County Council 1889-1939 offers a detailed and engaging account of fifty years of local government in one of Britain's most historic counties. Written by C. W. Radcliffe to commemorate the Council's golden jubilee, the volume explores the creation, development, and achievements of the Middlesex County Council from its Victorian beginnings through to the eve of the Second World War. Radcliffe draws upon council records, civic reports, and administrative history to present a clear narrative of how Middlesex modernised its services, improved public welfare, and adapted to the rapid urban expansion of the early 20th century.
The book also examines social and infrastructural progress in areas such as education, health, transport, housing, and regional planning, providing valuable insight into the county's transformation during a period of dramatic national change. As both a historical document and a commemorative work, it captures the character and civic pride of Middlesex during its most formative years. This volume will appeal to local historians, students of British governance, and collectors of county and municipal history."
