520 |a "Eleanor Herring's unique study of street furniture design in post-war Britain considers how objects which are now familiar parts of our urban environment -- lampposts, post boxes, parking meters, litterbins and signage -- were designed to populate public spaces. Herring explores the context of a post-war government, backed by various bodies keen to propagate 'good' modern design in a Britain whose towns and cities had been laid waste by bombing and the privations of war. She also considers the innate conservatism of local communities and councils, wary of a standardised street design imposed from above. She traces how the design of street furniture became the site of a fierce struggle which exposed deep-seated anxieties about class, taste and power. Herring's original research draws upon archival material and on interviews with leading figures in urban design, including the graphic designer Margaret Calvert and industrial designer Kenneth Grange."--Bloomsbury Publishing
