(12) Sale Street Area.
This area of about seven-eighths acres comprises
37 houses with a population of 265. Some 15
of the houses are unfit for human habitation, and
the remainder require repairing. The houses in
Crossland Square and Hague Place are situated in
a hollow, being from 2 feet 3 inches to 3 feet 3 inches
below the level of the pavement of Sale Street, and
they are hemmed in by surrounding dwellings. This
area was formally represented to the Borough
Council as being an unhealthy area and suitable
for a reconstruction scheme.
The area comprises the following lands and
streets: —
Mape Street, Nos. 4 to 18 (even).
Sale Street, Nos. 2 to 10 (even) with land
adjoining to Hague Place.
Crossland Square,
Hague Place,
Hague Street, Nos. 17 to 29 (odd).
Derbyshire Street, Nos. 50 and 52.
Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, BAKER'S COURT.
These four houses, crowded together in a narrow
cul-de-sac were the subject of Closing Orders in 1918.
In 1920 the question of demolition arose, and Demolition
Orders were made by the Council on May 20th.
These orders were confirmed on appeal.
