Great pics again Georgie.
I told him I couldn't get me hands on the dynamite so he's lookin for another source.Quote:
He's presumably playing the usual game of lying low and hoping it will be destroyed beyond repair...
Went back inside Eldon Grove again yesterday and was surprised to find that the top flats have an internal staricase up to another level.

The council are well aware of the gate situation, it looks to me like they don't give a toss about Eldon Grove..
makes you wonder, doesn't it ?... let everybody loose in the place knocking it to pieces stealing what they want..
what then ?... an easy excuse to demolish..?
Was by it yesterday,noticed the gate wide open and even the surrounding metal sheet fencing is damaged in parts.
What a difference in just a few weeks.
As you can see,the flats had been modernised to a fairly good standard,again, so why weren't they let?????
Only a few were completed Steve and it seems the developer had problems letting them to release some more funds for the rest as the tenants would have been living on a building site for quite some time. It's a shame really as it looks like he had a good go.

Note the tinned up flats on the top floor which were renovated.

A pity they weren't in a housing "action" area,or something similar!

I think I`ve posted this from 2008 before, the rear of the buildings with new sky lights and windows installed
Yes, those skylights never existed in the original building and stairs were put in the renovated flats to take you up into the roof space. A good idea and a pity these didn't work out.

Notice the Liver Bird atop the cast iron lamp standard.

I thought it was a Hillman Imp 15 minutes ago and searched and found the same photo.
I dont think it is a Hillman Imp in the Eldon Grove photo..
the window, to me..is more upright and not angled..
and it looks a taller car...higher off the ground...to me.
(The car in the Eldon Grove photo..)
Its an Estate imp,the estate's backwindow wasn't reclined as much as the imp car
