More about this scene
In 1934 Leeds City Council embarked on a programme to clear 30,000 slums. Delayed by the outbreak of the Second World War, the programme continued in the 1940s and included plans to build 53,000 new homes. However, building always lagged behind demand. Great swathes of countryside were cut through to make roads and roundabouts.
