There was a reason for that though. The council policy at the end was not to maintain them and instead let them become run down with no repairs taking place. It did leave them in a sorry state not deserving of them after only a 50 year life span. We've seen on here how the Bullring, St. Andrews gardens have been done up as well as Wavertree Gardens (now Abbeygate apartments), Sussex Gardens (now Acorn apartments), Gt Richmond St dwellings (now St. Annes apartments) as well as even earlier pre WWI Eldon Grove being tackled. There are also still Nelson St tennies in china town and blocks in Old Swan and Tuebrook.
