Anotácia knihy

Rural Nechells joined the city of Birmingham in 1838. By the middle of the 19th century, the demands to house Birmingham's rapidly expanding industry and workforce swiftly urbanised Nechells. Building in this north east part of Birmingham was hastily constructed and soon became overcrowded and substandard. Working class back to back courtyards with terraced houses in front were built dominating this area alongside factories, workshops, corner shops and pubs. Two gasworks were constructed in Windsor Street and Nechells Place polluted the air with an offensive odour compounded by the neighbouring Saltley gasworks and an enormous power station to the north. Today, fresh air has returned to Nechells with neither gasworks nor power station functioning anymore. Duel-carriageways now run where shopping centres once thrived. Various redevelopments have replaced the substandard housing with high-rise tower blocks and low-rise housing in landscaped settings. Many modern large and small units now house industry, business and entertainment complexes alongside the old. Through fascinating period images and text, Changing Nechells: A Transformed Birmingham District captures the considerable changes Nechells has undergone throughout three generations.
