Abstract
Continues the investigation into the development of ground floors in residential buildings. Focuses on the constructional features of traditional ground floors, both solid and suspended. Describes the influences that constructional form had on the development of ground floors. Indicates that suspended timber ground floors became more common after the mid‐nineteenth century.
