Career[edit]

He graduated B.A. from the London School of Economics in 1949, and gained a Ph.D. there in 1952.[1] He taught his entire career at the University of Leicester.

He was promoted to Professor of Urban History at the University of Leicester in 1973, but it was a personal title; there was no department of urban history. He founded the Urban History Newsletter in 1963.[2] The Newsletter was largely replaced by the Urban History Yearbook from 1974, which later became Urban History.[3][4] His students included David Reeder;[5][6] he influenced others, including David Cannadine.[7]

He wrote historiographical essays and occasional case studies, especially on the Victorian slum.[8] His joint essay with Reeder Slums and Suburbs postulated a relationship at the level of flows of capital between the appearance, often rapid, of central urban slums, and the development of the peripheral suburbs of a city.[9][10]

He became Chairman of the Victorian Society in 1976, succeeding Nikolaus Pevsner.[3]
