Is Park Hill definitely the site of the first major slum clearance in the UK? I'd have thought Quarry Hill in Leeds would have been earlier - the flats themselves were built in the 1930s - Nebbish 11:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the claim. Although some of the Park Hill site was cleared in the 1930s, this claim sounds very doubtful to me. I suppose it depends on your definition of slum clearance, but the clearance of Agar Town could be counted, and it's hard to see how the clearances prior to the construction of the Boundary Estate wouldn't count.
