Francis and his son Walter Crittall, of the Crittall Metal Windows Company, wanted their workers to live in houses with 'elementary rights of every home', amenities such as hot running water, gas and electricity, indoor bathrooms and a proper garden, not a backyard or an allotment half a mile away'<ref>[1] A History of Silver End By Susan King 1996</ref>. As Francis Crittall wrote in his autobiography in 1935<ref>Fifty Years of Work and Play (1935) - An autobiography by Francis Crittall</ref>: ‘In planning the houses we decided to sacrifice traditional design in the cause of light and air and space’.
