The Developments in King Street and Bridgnorth Road were part of a slum clearance program started in 1919.  However the first houses were not built until 1925.  They are to a design by Geo. Ridley & Sons of Wellington which was used throughout the Borough of Wenlock.  In addition to the pair built in 1925, 28 were built in 1936 and a further 46 in 1945-7.
