Chapter Chapter 6 in Injurious Vistas: The Control of Outdoor Advertising, Governance and the Shaping of Urban Experience in Britain, 1817–1962, 2021, pp 139-142 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract The conclusions argues that the book has placed outdoor advertising control in Britain in its wider context, whilst providing a broad account of the passage of laws and attitudes that came to regulate, control and radically reduce the number of posters on the streets of Britain. The book speaks to the way that the interaction between commercialism and the purposes of lived spaces has been reframed. The conclusion contends that the most important contribution of the book is to show the ways that the twentieth-century state began to see all sorts of different spaces—from rural landscapes and ancient monuments to the streets in the industrial cities of the north—as having value to citizens. It concludes by arguing that more work needs to be done on the relationship between nuisance and amenity as concepts, suggesting that this may be a productive area for legal scholars to explore.
