In this video, we’re taking a look around an estate and area called Bransholme, which is most famous for being one of Europe’s largest council estates and hitting the headlines for a lot of the wrong reasons.
Some factual information on the area:
Bransholme is a suburban housing estate and one of the largest council estates in the United Kingdom.
Located on the northeastern outskirts of Kingston upon Hull, the estate's development began in the 1960s and was primarily completed by the 1980s.
Bransholme was intended to provide high-quality, affordable housing, mainly to replace slum housing in Hull's city center.
Bransholme covers a vast area, and its design features a mix of house types, including terraced houses, semi-detached, and detached houses, with a variety of sizes and styles.
The estate was designed with a "city within a city" concept, incorporating local shops, schools, and community facilities within its boundaries.
Bransholme was designed to be a self-contained community, with an extensive network of footpaths and cycleways separate from the road system to encourage non-motorized transport.
However, it has faced several social challenges over the years, including high unemployment rates and social deprivation issues.
Despite its challenges, Bransholme also hosts positive aspects, including its sense of community and efforts to improve the area.
For instance, many initiatives have aimed to reduce unemployment, improve local facilities, and tackle crime.
