Peterlee - "The Place to Be" - in the early 1960s

File:Peterleeboxes.jpg
Original - Peterlee was designated as a New Town in 1948 and the building of flat-roofed homes (a design inspired by Mediterranean houses) started two years later. This picture, taken in the early 1960s, shows the "little boxes with little topses." By the 1970s, major design faults had been discovered with the houses - in that the roofs let in water. Today the flat roofs have been replaced with normal ones.
