13. Since the end of the Second World War housing standards have improved greatly. The “Slum Clearance” programs of the 1940s and 1950s knocked down many of the old, run-down terraces that had been built during the Victorian period. Although these houses were simple and had no modern conveniences, they were well loved homes and the owners often moved out under protest.
They were replaced with new houses, often built on large housing estates, or pre-fabricated houses that were built quickly and cheaply. Other people were not so lucky and ended up in high-rise tower blocks where people lost their sense of identity.
These new houses all had new amenities as well, such as piped gas, piped water and central heating, all of which came with the added responsibility of increased bills and higher rents.
