The estate was created in the 1930s when Huddersfield Town Council moved all residents from the rundown homes in the town centre to new estate.[3] Since the 1960s, the estate was beset with social problems which culminated in a riot in July 1992 when police carried out a drugs raid at the Phoenix pub. The following night, 200 youths clashed with police and there were many injuries. This was one of the worst disturbances which occurred in a wave of rioting across Britain during the summer of 1992, with similar disturbances also taking place in towns including Blackburn and Burnley across the Lancashire border.[4]
Some of the remaining original housing
In 1997, the council purchased the pub and closed it down, then demolished some of the 1,050 homes on the estate, 20% of which were, at the time, unoccupied. The council entered into a public/private partnership with Southdale Homes. and created new housing which benefited from the location's proximity to the Fixby area, where house prices were relatively buoyant.[5][6]
