Local authority housing built to accommodate those displaced by Liverpool's slum clearance programme in the 1960s/70s. This estate received government Estate Action Programme resources in the late 1980s in an attempt to reverse physical and social decline. Brick walls with railings provided what was known then as "defensible space" and add-on porches helped to increase the feeling of security.
