Description:
Shows premises 9 to 13, Cherry Place, probably prior to demolition. The houses in the picture backed onto those on Lennox Street.
In 1909, the Town Planning Act made it illegal for back-to-back houses to be built anywhere in the country. With the weight of this new law behind him, Philip Boobbyer, the Nottingham Medical Officer of Health, prepared a report early in 1912 for the consideration of the Housing Committee condemning large portions of the City's dwellings. After this report was published a new redevelopment scheme saw these houses demolished and new council houses built.
