Their corporate landlord intended to demolish their affordable, privately rented homes to replace them with middle-class houses for sale. Led by the women of the estate, tenants launched an anti-eviction campaign to save their close-knit community from destruction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neighbourhood was the last remnant of a 1950s National Coal Board estate constructed to house local miners. When the coal industry declined in the 1970s, whole estates were auctioned off to speculators. Low-income tenants were at the mercy of global investors. Houses were left to rot. Rents soared. Tenants were exploited every step of the way. Yet time and again, tenant activists - especially women - fought back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEviction \u003c\/i\u003eis a history of the British housing crisis in microcosm.","brand":"Field, Jessica","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":55546248397139,"sku":"9781836743576","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/field-jessica-jessica-field-eviction-2026-9781836743576-1263938486.jpg?v=1792622832","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/jessica-field-eviction-2026","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
