3, 5 and 7 Garden Street, Gateshead
Photographer: Gateshead County Borough Public Health
Date: 1930-1938
Reference Number: GL001502
This photograph was taken during a survey of Gateshead housing taken in the 1930s. Under the Housing Act of 1930, the Council was given much greater legal power to deal with slum housing. The worst areas were in central Gateshead. The Housing Act meant that whole areas of housing could be demolished and between 1932 and 1935 and many the streets in central Gateshead were acquired by compulsory purchase order and demolished. (Manders, 1973)
Garden Street was situated next to Oakwellgate, off Gateshead High Street. The signal gantry belonging to the Brandling Junction railway, which ran just behind Garden Street can just be seen behind the rooftops. Garden Street was demolished during the clearances of 1937.
