Date:1935

Description:This removal from Paradise Street was one of the many slum clearances that took place around this time. These residents were moved to Beattie Avenue, and generally people were removed to modern council housing.
This photograph captures the moment when families began moving from Paradise Street, the 19th century terraced houses that were a source of much illness and disease in Newcastle-under-Lyme, to the purpose built council houses on Beattie Avenue in the late 30s. As the removal men load up a wagon with belongings children play and chat on the pavement, probably not knowing if they were to be neighbours after the move.
