Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Leicester Street cul-de-sac After the First World War "servicemen returned to the town to find that, despite a government promise, there were not enough houses and many had to live in condemned slums which often accommodated more people than when first built." Housing Acts were passed to enable a housing programme to be set up
"Leamington's first council houses were built using space standards and layout which are quite generous by present-day criteria. They were used as examples in the Housing Commissioners' Design Manual and were repeated almost exactly in later manuals until after the Second World War."
These are some of those first council houses on the north side of Leicester Street, completed 1921-2. Quotes from Lyndon Cave: Royal Leamington Spa, a history: 2009. |
