A black and white video of Prince of Wales Crescent being given final clearance for demolition in 1976. John ‘Hoppy’ Hopkins takes a street tour around the events; bailiffs stand on the streets, occupants flee houses with possessions in hand, the streets are adorned with furniture and mattresses, lorries being filled and windows smashed in.
