Overspill estate

The Darnhill estate near Heywood, Greater Manchester was built by Manchester Corporation between 1947 and the 1960s as overspill housing.

An overspill estate is a housing estate built at the edge of an urban area, often to rehouse people from inner city areas as part of slum clearances.[1][2][3] They were created on the outskirts of most large British towns in the 20th century.[4][3][1] The Town Development Act 1952 encouraged the expansion of neighbouring urban areas rather than the creation of satellite communities.[5][6][1][7][8][9][10][11]
