nechells
Film from Birmingham City Council, featuring the redevelopment of Back To Back slum Housing in Inner City Birmingham at the turn of the 1950's.<br /><br />Nechells was one area out of 5 to get "The Treatment" of modernisation, though, if I remember there was still poor housing in Duddeston/Nechells in 1972 around Cato St,Dollman St & Inkerman St. <br /><br />Most of the back to back houses and old schools & factories were awaiting demolition, but they made a great source for the firewood for our area's big bonfire every November 5th.<br /><br />"The Youth" Sculpture is still there: https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4918832,-1.870313,3a,15y,107.95h,93.14t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sO8iNl2Uk0HhwsNE3dcyPYQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
