The permanent building societies of England grew from humble beginnings as a multitude of small and localized institutions in the nineteenth century to become the dominant players in the house mortgage market by the inter-war period. Throughout the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, the movement cultivated an image of being a champion of home ownership for the working classes, but housing historians have questioned whether building societies really lived up to this claim. This study fills a major gap in the historiography of the movement by investigating the class profile of building society members, and how the design of different building societies affected their accessibility, efficiency, and risk-taking practices between 1880 and 1939. These themes are explored using case studies of several building societies from this period and drawing upon extensive archival records. The Building Society Promise shows that building societies did lend to working-class households before the First and Second World Wars, with some societies showing a greater commitment to working-class home ownership than others. 1800-1999 fast Savings and loan associations Great Britain History 19th century Savings and loan associations Great Britain History 20th century Home ownership Great Britain History 19th century Home ownership Great Britain History 20th century Working class Dwellings Great Britain History 19th century Working class Dwellings Great Britain History 20th century Home ownership (OCoLC)fst00959347 fast Savings and loan associations (OCoLC)fst01105991 fast Working class Dwellings (OCoLC)fst01180437 fast Great Britain (OCoLC)fst01204623 fast History fast (OCoLC)fst01411628 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787808.001.0001/acprof-9780198787808 Uni Basel: Volltext https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787808.001.0001/acprof-9780198787808 Uni Basel: Volltext https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787808.001.0001/acprof-9780198787808 Uni Bern: Volltext BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 University Press Scholarship Online History Collection Oxford Scholarship Online History E-Books von 360MarcUpdates Oxford Scholarship Online IDSBB A145 A145 145VT NELA1451710 IDSBB A145 A145 145VT NELA1451710 IDSBB B405 B405 405VT NELB4052004 IDSBB 100 1- Samy Antoninus 1979- author IDSBB 490 1- Oxford Historical Monographs IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787808.001.0001/acprof-9780198787808 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787808.001.0001/acprof-9780198787808 Uni Basel: Volltext IDSBB 856 40 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198787808.001.0001/acprof-9780198787808 Uni Bern: Volltext SWISSBIB 480665451
