Granville Gardens, Banbridge
The Northern Ireland Housing Trust was a body created to deal with the post-WWII housing shortage. A paper read by Sir Lucius O'Brien, (the Trust’s Chairman) on 20th March, 1953 included this: “The first report on housing in Northern Ireland, published in 1944 by the Housing Committee! of the Planning Advisory Board, revealed a serious state of affairs. The report estimated that 100,000 houses were needed immediately to provide reasonable housing conditions. The magnitude of such a figure may be judged by the fact that about 50,000 houses only, or an average of 2,500 per annum, were built between 1919 and 1939.”
The Trust supplemented the work of the numerous councils and often provided houses of a very high standard. Some might say that Granville was one of its best.
