The houses in Smith's Buildings were the first closed by
the Borough Council under the Act. The houses and yards
are so small that it is impossible to provide adequate light
and ventilation; it will therefore be necessary to demolish
them in the near future The site is offered for sale by the
freeholder.

and three houses to be built on the site, plans of which have
