Of course it isn't simply the large houses along Edge Lane that will be demolished. There are mass demolition plans for the smaller terraced houses between Edge Lane and Wavertree Rd, Edge Hill. This amount of demolition seems to be part of a greater plan which is independent of the necessities of any road improvement scheme. Most of these houses look in quite good condition but are now mostly boarded up awaiting demolition. Recently, I had the priviledge of being invited into one of the few houses still occupied in Plimsoll St. The lady had lived there for 50 years, all her married life. The house was in mint condition and did not deserve demolition.
These properties are very similar to those in the nearby Kensington Fields area which seem to have survived the demolition ball.
