Many people will be unable to recognise the town in this book as Leicester. The buildings, the streets and the way of life may all seem unfamiliar to the majority of us. Between 1932 and 1975, slum clearance changed the face of the city. Vast swathes of housing close to the centre of town were demolished and new estates, factories and roads took their place. Until then, the slums were home to thousands of people who had to live in conditions that were frequently cramped, unhealthy and sometimes dirty. The Slums of Leicester provides a unique pictorial account of a Leicester that has long disappeared. It brings together vivid descriptions of life in the slums with contemporary photographs and maps which are set out district by district.
