High-rise residential blocks are common in many towns and cities in Yorkshire, with many councils, particularly Leeds, Halifax and Kingston upon Hull enthusiastically embracing high-rise living in the 1960s and '70s. Sheffield has fewer high-rise residential blocks, with the council there looking more towards the more modern 'wall like' developments.
