Blackburn Hamlet, a planned community surrounded by Greenbelt land, had its first residents in 1967, and most of its homes date from the 1960s and 1970s. Beacon Hill was built in the 1960s and 1970s and Carson Grove in the early 1970s.

Permits and approvals
What to check in Gloucester before kitchens work starts. Rules change, so we confirm what applies to your address.
Building permits
The City generally requires a building permit to finish a basement, move or remove walls, alter plumbing, add or enlarge windows and doors, and build an addition. Replacing kitchen cabinets without moving plumbing fixtures usually does not need one. Electrical work is inspected separately by the Electrical Safety Authority. Houses of this age often have plaster, older wiring or materials that need testing before they come out; the estimator's older-house allowance is a cushion for that.
