Office for National Statistics
A statistical history of Britain drawn from two centuries of Census data to tell us who we are, what we do and where we live. With fascinating analytical insights spanning 1921-2121, discover intriguing and contrasting details about our national life, from popular children’s names, and average parental ages, to the length of the working week and the mix of dwellings in the national housing stock. Fascinating insights include why a preponderance of ‘billiard makers’ and ‘slaves’ in the late 19th century censuses isn’t what it seems; the identity of the last executioner left in England in 1861; that before the Second World War most new houses sold for £750; and that the oldest surviving Blue Plaque commemorates Napoleon III at King Street, St James’s. Includes chapters discussing the 1921 and 2021 censuses, updated with the latest findings on the Covid-19 pandemic now entered into record.
