Dudley Flats Slums grew out of the adjacent industry and rubbish tip. The departed swampy Blue lake that once proved a barrier between the city’s East and West; became an embattled trench. It is in the location of this stranded vessel that a shanty village emerged on the banks of the Railway Canal, known as the Dudley Flats. This village was built from rubbish, atop a rubbish tip in which it was eventually buried. A lack of responsibility was shown by the city towards the people and environment this slum grew from.
