The Bransholme estate was built between 1965 and 1983 by Hull city council as part of its programme of slum clearance and re-housing, with North Bransholme being developed from about 1975. The estate was built partly on land transferred to the city from the neighbouring parishes of Wawne and Sutton in 1968. Bransholme on completion had around 9,000 dwellings, 2,500 of which were here in North Bransholme. By the 1990s North Bransholme was classified as an area of social deprivation. Boarded up houses are not an uncommon sight on the estate these days. Some blocks like this one will eventually get refurbished while others are knocked down leaving larger green spaces between those that remain.
