In the early 1970s construction began on the Hulme Crescents, a social housing estate for 13,000 inhabitants. The development was soon after its opening in 1972 known to be haunted by problems. After the complex was abandoned by the city council in 1984, the crescents morphed into a huge urban squat - a home to punks, new age travelers and the acid house party scene. After the 1981 riots in many UK cities, the Thatcher government devised plans to redevelop troublesome estates across the country. The bulldozers moved in in the early 1990s and Hulme was subsequently razed and constructed anew for the second time in 40 years. See less
