One hundred years ago…..

[ A man will….]“..walk along the municipal pavement, lit by municipal gas, swept by municipal brooms with municipal water, and seeing by the municipal clock in the municipal marketplace that he is too early to meet his children from the municipal school, hard by the county lunatic asylum and municipal hospital, will ...tell them not to walk through the municipal park but come by municipal tram..to the municipal library, gallery and museum..’ ….Sydney Webb [1896]
