Council Estate

Council Estates are large housing estates typically in the United Kingdom or Ireland usually built between the 1950s and 1970s for low income and working class households. They are synonymous with poverty, drugs, teenage gangs, chavs (in the UK), yup bros (in Ireland), dickheads in general and violence. Some famous examples are Darndale in Dublin, Park Hill in Sheffield and Bransholme in Yorkshire.
