of more concern in the immediate post-war period was the deteriorating housing stock. in the 1950s, the back-to-backs of hargreaves' square were condemned as slums and the site redeveloped. the redevelopment removed several historic buildings – shipley old hall (1593), at the junction of kirkgate and manor lane and of which a few fragments of roof drainage and a roof truss survive in crowghyll park, shipley hall (1734), which stood at the junction of market street and otley road became the headquarters of windhill cooperative society and possibly hudson fold house (1629). of the major victorian town centre buildings, only the old bradford bank (now barclays) and sun hotel remain.
