The original scheme displaced 1,165 persons, and the original order of the
Local Government Board required re-housing accommodation to be provided
for 842 persons. The three sets of buildings as now completed provide accommodation
for 1,116 persons, that is, for 274 persons more than was originally
required, and only 49 persons short of the original number displaced.
The following particulars with regard to the buildings are of permanent interest.
