	Metropolitan Board of Works - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Metropolitan Board of Works (MBW) was the principal instrument of London-wide government from 1855 until the establishment of the London County Council in 1889.
		A large part of the work of the MBW was under the charge of the Chief Engineer, Joseph Bazalgette, previously engineer with the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers.
		The MBW's headquarters were taken over by the London County Council as its headquarters until County Hall was built and occupied in 1922; the building was then renamed 'Old County Hall' and continued as a subsidiary office for the LCC until the original hundred-year lease on the site expired in 1958.

		It is the collection of the working books, official papers, and pamphlets of Sir Joseph Bazalgette which formed part of the collection at the Board of Works, later transferred to the Metropolitan Water Board.
		This is the working collection of the man and the agency at the heart of the implementation of sanitary reform and as such is a collection which could not be recreated.
		The Metropolitan Water Board was a unified public monopoly for the distribution of one of the vital necessities of life.

	Wikinfo \| London County Council
		The creation of the LCC was forced by a succession of scandals involving the Metropolitan Board of Works, its predecessor, which had not been directly elected.
		It covered the same area that the Metropolitan Board of Works (which had run London's roads, bridge, etc) had covered, specifically parts of Middlesex, Surrey and Kent.
		The LCC initially used the Spring Gardens headquarters of the Metropolitan Board of Works but by 1906 decided to buy up three adjacent plots of land on the western side of Westminster Bridge for use as a single headquarters.

	H-Net Review: Denis Bocquet on The Thames Embankment. Environment, Technology and Society in ...
		Porter perceives the public works on the river and the modernization of the sewers as mechanisms of social control against the fear of disorder and disease, in a Victorian society experiencing strong urban growth, where moral topics and technical improvements were often linked.
		He shows too how the MBW was linked to the London engineering community and to the Institution of Civil Engineers, demonstrating how the habit of many engineers to work with some contractors had important effects on the decision-making process and on the shape of the work itself.
		In 1889-89, the MBW was integrated into the London County Council, embodying the innovation in structuring local government in London.

	Black Friday - Royal Commission - Judge's Findings - The Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works
		The water supply authority has, in many instances, in furtherance of its desire to give full supply of uncontaminated water, allowed its area to become a menace to the rest of the forest.
		It appears that a large part of the Board's policy of prevention of outbreak and spread of fires is to be left to Nature.
		Nature, however, in another department of its working, sends the abnormal season which encourages the major fire which consumes the forest.

	Government
		The MBW slowly increased its powers and by 1878 it was clear that some level of metro-wide government was necessary.
		The original idea was to have a popularly elected council replace the MBW and rule in conjunction with a group of relatively powerful local councils.
		Parish leaders agreed to this because they wanted to maintain their power and ensure that local issues were not overlooked; however, the establishment of local councils was not achieved as soon as planned and the LCC was to alone rule London.

	exploring social action: housing and the london county council
		Owner occupation grew from 10% to 67% of the stock; private renting declined from 90% to less than 10%; and the social housing sector, largely in the form of council housing, grew to about a third before its reducing to less than a quarter.
		Under the Housing of the Working Classes Act (1890) further areas were cleared but as no offers to build came in (the returns on housing were no longer attractive to investors) the Council began building housing itself.
		In 1965 the London County Council and the lower tier of 28 metropolitan boroughs was replaced by the Greater London Council (GLC) and 12 boroughs.

	Victorian Wages for Skilled and Unskilled Labor: The Example of Construction Workers on the Thames Embankment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For the first section of the Victoria Embankment, the MBW [Metropolitan Board of Works] specified that bricklayers, masons, carpenters, and smiths should be paid 6s.
		If an engineer worked a ten-hour day (and not the eleven-and-a-half-hour day common among builders before the 1860 strikes) six days a week, with the usual lapses for illness or weather, he could earn about £110 per year, equalling the wages of a young civil engineering clerk of the white-collar variety.
		Imagine the trials of a newly minted "clerk of the works" sent out by the MBW to supervise a sewer or Embankment construction site, when he encountered his unionized and experienced "engineer" counterpart, who not only knew more about the practice of construction than he did, but earned higher wages.

	The Victorian Development of the Idea of "the Public Interest" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the case of the Thames Embankment, some fifty-two acres of prime real estate were literally dredged out of the river in the heart of London.
		They were authorized by Parliament and the Treasury, claimed by both the Crown and the City Corporation of London under ancient law, built under the auspices of the recently created Metropolitan Board of Works, defended by aristocratic residents -- and requisitioned, in the end, by the people of London for their own use.
		To cite a single instance, by the end of its institutional life, in 1889, the Metropolitan Board of Works came to manage over 2,600 acres of parks and commons, most of them taken over from private landowners as the metropolis swallowed up the manors and villages.
