Following the Second World War during the reconstruction period, the Hull Corporation created several new housing estates in east Hull. First came Bilton Grange Estate, then Longhill, closely followed by the Greatfield Estate. At the time, the houses were in high demand as they had to accommodate an increased number of workers. Many of the houses sported indoor toilets and bathrooms, which at the time were viewed as a luxury that many homes elsewhere in the city did not have.{{cite news| url =https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/live-hull-most-misjudged-estate-3220310| title =What it's like to live on Hull's most misjudged estate| date =1 May 2011| work =Hull Daily Mail| access-date =20 February 2025}}

All the new housing estates were designed by Andrew Rankine, Hull's city architect, as independent units, each with its own shops, schools, libraries and other civic facilities. Their design was in a reduced Festival of Britain style, with pantile roofed brick buildings, built along generally short curving roads with generous common open treed areas.{{cite book| series = Pevsner Architectural Guides| first = David| last = Neave| first2 = Susan| last2 = Neave| title = Hull| year =2010|isbn = 978-0-300-14172-6| publisher =Yale University Press |pages = 32–33 }}
