I didn't think "Little Chicago" was the Park Hill

I thought Little Chicago was the Hyde Park and Sky Edge area where the Sheffield gangs were based in the 1920's/30's

Can't expect a TV researcher to know much about Sheffield though, as this programme showed, they know a lot more about Liverpool.

A good programme though, I enjoyed it, and the old video scenes of Park Hill in the 60's were great.

...the Park area was generally the area between the City Centre and Wybourn and Manor , which included Park Hill , Hyde Park , and Skye Edge , - and most of the flats rows were named after the local streets all demolished during the "slum clearance" in the early 50.s.
