Carr Hill, council housing

Carr Hill council estate was proposed in 1919. 202 semi-detached houses and terraces had been built by 1922, the estate having been laid out, with trees, shrubbery and lawns by Richard Wylie. Each house had a scullery, larder, coal store, bath and indoor toilet. The estate was complete by 1923. The main street was Broadway and there were three cross streets - The Avenue, Pottersway and Crossway and several cul-de-sacs. Between 1923 and 1927 another 342 houses and 7 shops had been built in a harder red brick, some houses rendered on the first floor.
