Local Slums
The overcrowded housing in towns and cities is one of the
consequences of the Industrial Revolution, when workers needed to
live close to the factories and mills where they were employed.
Until the restructuring after World War II, when run-down areas were
redeveloped or the occupants were moved to the new tower blocks and
housing estates, there were several slums in and around Halifax.
