Description: | This view shows the rear of 12 High Street East in Sunderland, about 1932. The men are demolition workers, clearing property to make way for the new Corporation Deep Water Quay. Many properties in High Street East were built in the 1700s for wealthy gentry and merchants. In the 1800s these properties became tenements and slum housing, as the gentry moved into new suburbs. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | buildings and views Sunderland | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
