(10) Manchester Buildings Area.
This area of about ¼ acre comprises 17 houses
with a population of 105. It consists of a court off
Menotti Street together with a few houses in Menotti
Street. Nine of the houses are unfit for human
habitation, and the remainder would require to be
vacated if they were to be thoroughly repaired. The
houses in Manchester Buildings are built in a hollow,
being about 2 feet 9 inches below the pavement level
of Menotti Street and are closed in on all sides. This
area was formally reported to the Borough Council
as being an unhealthy area suitable for a reconstruction
scheme.

This area of about nine-tenths of an acre, comprises
29 houses with a population of 116.

past closed and unoccupied, owing to their structural
defects. Three others are unfit for human habitation
and only one of the remaining houses can be
said to be in good repair. This area was formally
reported to the Borough Council as being an unhealthy
area suitable for a reconstruction scheme.
