Description

The 1960s saw a boom in new social housing being built as authorities around the UK grappled with the problem of unfit Victorian housing in inner cities. The modern new houses on estates would often bring their own problems - but that was down the road and, for now, the opening of new housing developments was a newsworthy enterprise with VIPs in attendance.

The records for this clip do not record the location but it was typical of the type of new housing appearing all over Northern Ireland at the time.
