A South Bank Slum? Caroline St redevelopment in the 1960s
Our next talk is on Thursday 9 June 2022 at 7.30pm, and is a Zoom repeat of the talk by Rob Stay in Clements Hall on 27 May.
Rob will be talking about what happened to the Caroline Street area between Bishopthorpe Rd and Nunnery Lane in the 1960s.
At that time the City Council demolished six streets and a long-established community of around 1,000 people, together with local shops and small businesses. The streets were Caroline, Clement, Drake, Price, Spencer and Victoria. Displaced residents were mostly rehoused by the Council all over the city and the site was later redeveloped for social housing - today’s Nunnery Lane estate. (Further details are here)
