Journal Article
Hornsey, R. (in press). Factory Tourism in Inter-war Britain: The Spectacular Construction of Social-Democratic Mass Production. Modern British History,

In the 1920s and 1930s, many British manufacturers opened their factories to hundreds of thousands of ordinary consumers. In part, this was a response to an increasingly competitive market for branded household commodities, in which visitors were off...
