Hampton Street (2005)

Former pottery buildings become residential units (Hampton Street 05)

Hampton Street is located within the new City Waterside neighbourhood. This picture, taken in April 2005, shows the redevelopment of old pottery buildings into residential units by Beth Johnson Housing Association (now part of the Sanctuary Housing Group).

It looks absolutely brilliant, as good as a new house! It makes me feel proud to live here.

I will be glad to go. It’s not a nice place to live... There’s no community left here any more.
