7:37Now PlayingLike many local authorities across the country, Oldham Borough Council used compulsory purchase powers when redeveloping and modernising areas of the town in the 1960s. Man Alive spoke to some of those affected, including Mrs Quinlan, who faced losing her family home, and gentlemen's outfitter Danny Corallo, who had to relocate his business.
