Description
Film from Birmingham City Council, featuring the redevelopment of Back To Back slum Housing in Inner City Birmingham at the turn of the 1950's.
Nechells was one area out of 5 to get "The Treatment" of modernisation, though, if I remember there was still poor housing in Duddeston/Nechells in 1972 around Cato St,Dollman St & Inkerman St.
Most of the back to back houses and old schools & factories were awaiting demolition, but they made a great source for the firewood for our area's big bonfire every November 5th.
"The Youth" Sculpture is still there: https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4918832,-1.870313,3a,15y,107.95h,93.14t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sO8iNl2Uk0HhwsNE3dcyPYQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
