Description

Shots of a building site near rows of terraced houses in Salford, with cranes and builders - there is a view of a gothic-looking building (possibly Ordsall Board School). There are scenes in Broughton, with men working on roofs in Simpson Street, children playing on cars and scenes around the alleyways near the terraced houses. The film closes with children playing in the remains of demolished houses.
