Dingle Road, North Prospect - Plymouth
Following World War I a slum clearance programme began in Plymouth with council housing being constructed in the North Prospect/Swilly area of the town. By 1928 802 council houses had been constructed here.
Despite its leafy avenues the area gained a fierce reputation over the years as one of the poorest and least desirable areas of the town in which to find oneself or to live in. Plymouth City Council is currently planning to redevelop the area, demolishing the existing housing stock and replacing it with modern accommodation. It is likely that more homes will be made available because better use could be made of the land area - that is smaller gardens!
