Notes:

Scholarly work. Based on doctoral thesis - see G Clifton, 'Staff of the Metropolitan Board of Works, 1855-1889. The development of a professional local government bureaucracy in Victorian London', 1986. Deals largely with the nature and growth of the institution and with its staff which is analysed in depth. Contains very little about its infrastructure building activities
