Air date: Jan 01, 1959

In the wake of massive-scale slum clearance and urban renewal in Sunderland's East End, how can the Church cement and service new communities out on the fringes of town? This heartfelt and earnest film by documentary outfit Selwyn Films examines the landscapes and communities transformed by urban change on Wearside, and highlights some of the Church's activities for families newly rehoused in the suburbs.
