Under the Housing Act of 1930, the Council was given much greater legal power to deal with slum housing. The worst areas were in central Gateshead. The Housing Act meant that whole areas of housing could be demolished and between 1932 and 1935 and many the streets in central Gateshead were acquired by compulsory purchase order and demolished. (Manders, 1973) Easton Place was demolished in 1937.
