The 1950s to 1970s slum clearance programme consisted in the first instance of the demolition of houses so that new houses could be built. The 1940s  housing-scheme focussed on building housing quickly to alleviate the intense housing shortage. This shortage was particularly acute after the end of the war when returning servicemen needed accommodation; in April 1949 the <em>Salford City Reporter<\/em> stated that enquiries for housing were made every 15 mins at Salford Housing Department. As a result, Salford opted, as did many municipalities at the time, to build  temporary and prefabricated houses as well as permanent ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The maps in this blog post locate housing schemes that were announced, built, or that were in the process of being built between 1944 and 1949. It is a tool that helps to understand the scale of housing schemes and in which parts of Salford these were located. The information in this post relies heavily on newspaper articles in the\u00a0<em>Salford City Reporter<\/em>\u00a0that Roy Bullock collated in his book\u00a0<em>Salford 1940-1965\u00a0<\/em>and on my accurately identifying estates and houses on the ordinance map of 1950. Further research in, for example, consulting City Council minutes, is needed so that the maps below should not be expected to provide a comprehensive or fully accurate account of housing built during that time &#8211; yet. It is work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Duchy-Summerville-Roads-1024x726.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1054\" width=\"674\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Duchy-Summerville-Roads-1024x726.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Duchy-Summerville-Roads-640x454.jpg 640w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Duchy-Summerville-Roads-320x227.jpg 320w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Duchy-Summerville-Roads-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Duchy-Summerville-Roads-1536x1090.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Duchy-Summerville-Roads-2048x1453.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Duchy-Summerville-Roads-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Estate bordered by Duchy Road and Summerville Road built between 1944 and c1949.

It was framed by Duchy and Summerville Roads in Irlam. 206 houses were planned in 1944. On a smaller site in Little Bolton 234 municipal flats were announced in 1948 to be built in between Ladywell Hospital and Stott Lane. The &#8220;Ladywell flats&#8221; seemed to have been completed by 1950 as they are clearly visible on the map. The Regent Road estate, where in 1948 82 houses and blocks of flats were planned, was another permanent housing scheme under development at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wardleworth Estate with 188 planned houses was in 1946 reportedly planned on a 14 acre plot between Stott Lane and Tootal Drive. However, on the 1950 map this site is not occupied with houses. The website\u00a0<em>Digital Salford<\/em>\u00a0on the other hand has an image of houses built in 1946. It is titled &#8220;Wardleworth estate&#8221; and located on Eccles Old Road. Unfortunately, I could not readily identify an estate on Eccles Old Road on the map that followed the layout indicated on this photo and have yet to find Wardleworth estate on the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Ladywell-and-Wardleworth-Estates-1024x726.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Ladywell-and-Wardleworth-Estates-1024x726.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Ladywell-and-Wardleworth-Estates-640x454.jpg 640w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Ladywell-and-Wardleworth-Estates-320x227.jpg 320w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Ladywell-and-Wardleworth-Estates-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Ladywell-and-Wardleworth-Estates-1536x1090.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Ladywell-and-Wardleworth-Estates-2048x1453.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Ladywell-and-Wardleworth-Estates-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The &#8220;Ladywell Estate&#8221; begun in 1948 between Ladywell hospital and Stott Lane can be spotted on the map.

The largest temporary estate was announced in 1945 for a site bounded by Weaste Lane, Gore Avenue and Derby Road. Further temporary houses were to be built on two sites off Eccles New Road. The first site is easy to identify between Weaste Lane, Gore Avenue and Derby Road but again, where on Eccles New Road such temporary houses were built is difficult to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Weaste-Ln-Gore-Rd-Derby-Ave-1024x726.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1056\" width=\"674\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Weaste-Ln-Gore-Rd-Derby-Ave-1024x726.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Weaste-Ln-Gore-Rd-Derby-Ave-640x454.jpg 640w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Weaste-Ln-Gore-Rd-Derby-Ave-320x227.jpg 320w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Weaste-Ln-Gore-Rd-Derby-Ave-768x545.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Weaste-Ln-Gore-Rd-Derby-Ave-1536x1090.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Weaste-Ln-Gore-Rd-Derby-Ave-2048x1453.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/modern-salford\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2023\/07\/Weaste-Ln-Gore-Rd-Derby-Ave-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 674px) 100vw, 674px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Estate of prefabricated houses bounded by Weaste Lane, Gore Avenue and Derby Road.
