Flats in Hulme JLP01_08_076201b
HULME, MANCHESTER. A view over the construction site of three-storey flats in Hulme, built using the 12M Jespersen system, with the Manchester skyline in the distance including Manchester Central Railway Station.
In 1963, John Laing and Son Ltd bought the rights to the Danish industrialised building system known as Jespersen (sometimes referred to as Jesperson). The company built factories in Scotland, Hampshire and Lancashire producing Jespersen prefabricated parts and precast concrete panels, allowing the building of housing to be rationalised, saving time and money. These flats in Hulme were built by Laing in 1967 and were part of a contract to build 420 flats and maisonettes, with the prefabricated concrete units being supplied by the John Laing Concrete Factory in Heywood. The housing development consisted of walks and closes including Toddbrook Close, Pyegreave Close, Birchvale Close, Magdalen Walk, Elmin Walk and others. The development has subsequently been demolished and the site is now occupied by the Hulme Park playing fields just off Jackson Crescent.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time, showcasing the construction site of three-storey flats in Hulme, Manchester. Built using the innovative 12M Jespersen system, these flats were a testament to John Laing and Son Ltd's forward-thinking approach to housing development. In 1963, John Laing and Son Ltd acquired the rights to the Danish industrialized building system known as Jespersen. This allowed them to establish factories across Scotland, Hampshire, and Lancashire for producing prefabricated parts and precast concrete panels. The use of this system streamlined the building process, resulting in significant time and cost savings. The flats in Hulme were completed by Laing in 1967 as part of a larger contract that included constructing 420 flats and maisonettes. The prefabricated concrete units used for this project were supplied by the renowned John Laing Concrete Factory located in Heywood. Although these once vibrant homes have since been demolished, their legacy lives on through this remarkable photograph. Today, the site is occupied by Hulme Park playing fields near Jackson Crescent. This image offers us a glimpse into an era when innovation was reshaping urban landscapes across England. It serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving architectural heritage and how past advancements continue to shape our present-day cities.
