Listed buildings in Haslingden Haslingden is a town in Rossendale, Lancashire, England, and close to it are the communities of Helmshore, Ewood Bridge, and Irwell Vale. The area contains 47 buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings. Of these, three are listed at Grade II*, the middle grade, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade. Until the coming of the Industrial Revolution the area was agricultural, and almost all the earliest listed buildings are farmhouses and farm buildings. With the arrival of industry, first came weavers' cottages and then mills, some of which are listed. As the population grew, buildings to serve the community were constructed. Listed examples of these include churches and associated structures, and a public house. The East Lancashire Railway passes through the area, and viaducts built to carry it are listed. In addition the gateway to a public park and a war memorial are listed.
Overspill estate An overspill estate is a housing estate planned and built for the housing of excess population in urban areas, both from the natural increase of population and often in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas, usually as part of the process of slum clearance. They were created on the outskirts of most large British towns and during most of the 20th century, with new towns being an alternative approach outside London after World War II. The Town Development Act, 1952 encouraged the expansion of neighbouring urban areas rather than the creation of satellite communities. Slum clearance tenants often had problems with the move, since it separated them from extended family and friends, needed services were often lacking, and only the better off workers could afford the extra cost of commuting back to their jobs. Another criticism was that the new estates occupied what had been productive agricultural land.
