The way we were
Article Abstract:
The modern property industry in the UK has its origins in the 1950s and 1960s, when the improving economy and the lifting of post-second world war restrictions on building materials allowed businesses to expand. Until the 1970s, most property developers seemed to come from other areas of business, such as law or construction, but the new generation of property developers has been nurtured by people such as Geoffrey Wilson. The property market withstood mixed economic fortunes in the 1960s and 1970s, and then really began to expand in the 1980s.

A better but not a booming year
