The genesis for these schemes were plans made in 1910 by the Board of Trade, which were then discussed and expanded upon by local authorities from across London meeting at what were known as the Arterial Road Conferences.<br /> <br /> This file contains the details of those meetings, and much of the aftermath. It is fantastically useful.<br /> <br /> ==Contents of note==<br /> * The full report of the 1914 central conference and the six sectional conferences that followed it, with transcripts of the speeches that were made and minutes of the meetings and what was decided in them.<br /> * Typed draft versions of everything that appears in the above.<br /> * Full minutes of the meeting that a deputation of town planners, architects, engineers and local government representatives held with Prime Minister HH Asquith that started the whole conference process.<br /> <br /> ==People with camera copies==<br /> None known.</div>
