Essex Book Festival Radical Walks: Silver End

A pioneering site of British Modernism, Silver End was built by Francis Henry Crittall in 1926 to house employees working at his nearby metal window factory.
The distinctive white, flat roofed houses were designed to be “full of air, light and space” with large gardens and civic amenities incorporated into the countryside village. It was no wonder Silver End was quickly dubbed the “metal window kingdom of happiness”.

Duration: 1 hour mostly across flat surfaces, but will include parkland and playing fields, so wear comfortable shoes.
The walk is led by Jess Twyman, contributor to ‘Radical Essex’ publication, 2018.
