Streets in the Sky
This episode of Reel History comes from the Park Hill Estate in Sheffield as we look at Housing redevelopment in the 1960s. Park Hill and estates like it were seen as the solution to over crowding caused by a baby boom and rising rates of immigration after the Second World War but in reality they might have been good in the short-term but quickly declined and most become an eyesore. Park Hill was once labelled the worst estate in Europe but is now being redeveloped again. Melvyn meets some ex- residents to find out what went wrong.
