It argues that managing museum space for both adults and children became an important issue for curators, merging with and to an extent replacing nineteenth-century concerns with managing space to accommodate different class groups. It investigates the children's galleries, 'corners' and museums which emerged between 1900 and 1950, comparing them with fuller provision in the USA. In the UK, children's museum spaces were constrained by a lack of space, expertise and money, and a concern not to make the museum childish; and by an association of children's provisions with slum areas and women experts. Curators were unsure how far to adopt a child-focused approach, or for which age groups they should provide. For a few commentators, children's presence was seen as incompatible with adult use of museums, to the point where they should be totally barred. Thus, children's spaces were partly a way of separating children and adults in museums, and reinforced a sense of difference between adult and child visitors. Most children's spaces disappeared after the Second World War, as slums and unaccompanied child visitors declined, and a focus on more 'professional' curating emerged. Fewer children seem to have visited, a trend accelerated by the wider context of familial and leisure change. The development of more engaging displays for all, not just children, served to narrow the apparent intellectual gulf between adult and child.","PeriodicalId":520090,"journal":{"name":"Modern British history","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145937263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The deportation of two hoteliers: a microhistory of brothel keepers in interwar Britain.","authors":"Vivian Kong","doi":"10.1093/tcbh/hwag040","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/tcbh/hwag040","url":null,"abstract":"In 1937, the Home Office deported two residents of Chinese descent, Amy and George Doo, for running hotels that sex workers frequently used to sell sex. As the British state intensified its criminalization of the sex trade in the interwar years, it limited options for where sex work could take place, and made hotel owners like the Doos an ever more important stakeholder within the illicit sexual economy. Yet, within the growing scholarship on prostitution in modern Britain, we know very little about the lives and networks of this key facilitator of the sex trade. This article therefore offers a double biography of the Doos. Using oral history, historical newspapers, and scattered archival records in London, Cornwall, and Singapore, this article reconstructs the lives of two brothel keepers (as legally broadly defined) and explains what brothel keeping entailed within the context of clandestine commercial sex. It unravels how brothel keepers straddled licit and illicit economies and mitigated against increasing prosecution. It also interrogates how racial prejudice shaped how state authorities policed those involved in the sex trade, and how the couple attempted to counteract such prejudice.","PeriodicalId":520090,"journal":{"name":"Modern British history","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149140164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
