Demolished Building
Following the demolition of late 18th century terraced housing on Nesham Square, Maling's Rigg, Vine Street and Burleigh Street (HER 16159) during the 1930s slum clearance program, a new block of flats (social housing) known as Burleigh Garth was constructed on the newly cleared area. This consisted of rows of flats arranged around an open quadrangle. The Garth was demolished in 1998 and landscaped.
