A factual report on thirteen years of community living
Written and produced by Patrick Campbell
Presented by Noel Johnson
On March 30, 1938, the Lord Mayor of Leeds opened the first block of flats at Quarry Hill, the largest development of its kind in Europe. New in conception. new in design and construction, this was a bold experiment in social living. Has the experiment succeeded? How do the people like it? And has it contributed to future standards of living in this country? This report on the first thirteen years, compiled with the assistance of the Leeds City Housing Committee and the Quarry
Hill Tenants Association, gives the facts of the past and discusses some of the possibilities for the future.
