Ludlow Street (2007)

Properties in Ludlow Street, Hanley, in 2007

This picture of Ludlow Street, which falls within the new City Waterside neighbourhood, was taken in 2007. These houses were included within the Ludlow Street Housing Compulsory Purchase Order. Houses were acquired and demolished by the city council. Residents were assisted to relocate. The site released formed part of a much larger redevelopment opportunity.

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.
