Harrow Place, Spring View
Part of a 1930s Council Estate built by Ince Urban District Council. Most of the houses were allocated to railwaymen who worked at Springs Branch sheds, on the nearby London-Glasgow line. Although local coal miners were also crying out for houses they lost out to the railwaymen who were less likely to be put on short-time working, or have their pay reduced by their employers.

Newer section of Marlborough Avenue, Spring View
In the 1970s a massive clearance of terraced housing took place along the length of Warrington Road, and of some terraced streets at Lower Ince. The Council bought a newly-built private housing development to house many of the displaced families. People were moved in groups of neighbours from their old streets.
