Description: | Plough Yard was situated behind 117-121 Gateshead High Street. It was one of many small courts and alleys to run off the High Street which by the 1930s were considered to be slums. Under the Housing Act of 1930, the Council was given much greater legal power to deal with slum housing. The Act meant that whole areas of housing could be demolished and between 1932 and 1935 many of the streets in and around the town centre were acquired by compulsory purchase order and demolished. (Manders, 1973) Plough Yard formed Area no. 9A of the slum clearances along with Raglan Terrace and East Street. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Slum housing/tenements Streets | Temporal: | name=1920s; start=1920; end=1929; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
