The post-war reconstruction period in the UK began immediately after the end of the Second World War in 1945 and continued through the late 1950s and early 1960s. This era was marked by significant efforts to rebuild cities, infrastructure, and housing that had been damaged or destroyed during the war. The Labour government, led by Clement Attlee, played a crucial role in this period, implementing policies aimed at economic recovery, social welfare, and urban planning (sep 20, 1945 – apr 23, 1960)
