The New Build Council Houses -- Melissa Pentney
A council house is a form of British public housing built by local authorities. (A council estate is a building complex containing a number of council houses and other amenities such as schools and shops.) Beginning with the Public Health Act of 1875, council houses could be general housing for the working class or homes for the poor,, general housing, or part of slum clearance.
