More about this scene
Many estates of what we now call social housing sprang up around Britain following the war. The long rows of new council houses can be seen on the right of this picture, while the older, more substantial houses appear on the left. Much of the local authority housing was pretty cheerless in design, but it satisfied a great demand in the decades following the Second World War, due both to war damage and slum clearance in nearby Cardiff.
