Description: | The first housing scheme undertaken by Tettenhall UDC was under the Housing and Town Planning Act of 1919 and consisted of properties in Regis Road, Tettenhall and The Terrace, Finchfield. These were completed in 1922.
Under the Housing (Financial Provisions) Act 1924 the council acquired land between Wood Road and School Road - some was used for the Woodland Avenue development and some was sold to the private sector upon which 'The Crescent' was built.
During the latter stages of World War II the council acquired land for the development at School Road (the site was cleared by prisoner of war labour). The scheme was completed in 1948.
Also during the 1940s the council acquired 36 Arcon prefabricated bungalows from the Ministry of health for Henwood Road.
In c. 1949/1950 the Woodhouse Estate (north of School Road) which consisted of 250 houses was completed. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | 1924 - 1964 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
