Woodside Maisonettes, Sheffield 13th August 1962. Artist: Michael Walters
Woodside Maisonettes, Sheffield 13th August 1962. The newly built Woodside Maisonettes in Sheffield were a good example of the brave new architecture prevalent in the 1960 s. These, together with high rise concrete tower blocks soon became slums and in need of constant refurbishment. Although a few of these types of city blocks remain; most are now demolished and consigned to history

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Woodside Maisonettes, Sheffield 13th August 1962" showcases the remarkable architectural design prevalent during the 1960s. Created by artist Michael Walters, this image captures the newly constructed Woodside Maisonettes in Sheffield, England. These maisonettes were a shining example of the bold and innovative architecture that characterized the era. However, as time went on, many high-rise concrete tower blocks like these became dilapidated and transformed into slums requiring constant refurbishment. Today, only a few remnants of these city blocks remain standing as witnesses to their once-prominent existence. In this monochrome photograph taken by Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , we see an exterior view of these flats. The building's clean lines and balconies add a touch of modernity to its overall appearance. It serves as a testament to an era when architects pushed boundaries and embraced new materials such as concrete. The Woodside Maisonettes symbolize not only an architectural feature but also represent a significant period in history – the mid-20th century when urban housing was being reimagined across Britain. This image invites us to reflect on how our built environment has evolved over time while reminding us of the challenges faced by communities living within such structures.
