The demolition of Victorian terraced housing in Netherthorpe began in 1956 as part of the redevelopment of an area of 48.5 hectares and new council owned dwellings were constructed in phases between 1959-1972. These included four tower blocks that were completed in 1962, these two being named Robertshaw and Crawshaw. All four were re-clad in a blue and cream colour scheme, and improved, in 1998. This dual carriageway, together with a central section of tram tracks, links University Square roundabout (behind the photographer) with Infirmary Road.
