This chapter describes the construction, tenanting and management of an experimental scheme for slum-dwellers, utilising a largely unnoticed clause of the 1919 Housing Act. It shows how the scheme was built on residual land and contained small, if new, houses. There was acute conflict about the small size of these new council houses within the Corporation, with the socialist I.L.P. arguing that no more small houses, with consequent overcrowding, should be built for workers. Although the scheme was managed in an authoritarian manner, it was massively popular with its tenants who created a thriving, left-wing, community with it.
