Description:A photograph of Paradise Street in Newcastle-under-Lyme taken in the mid 1930s.

This was one of the first areas to be demolished and its residents re-housed in new council housing. The terraced housing in Paradise Street was cramped and run down, it was without basic sanitation and the people that lived there were at risk of illness and disease. Paradise Street residents were moved to Beattie Avenue.
