An aerial view of Grange House
that was taken
in the 1970s. The
red numbers
show thespots (see each photograph) where I took the
photographs
of the demolition from Part of
Grange House that was built in the early 1970s has been demolished
by Berneslai Homes as part of a redevelopment project. The wing
included 16 bedsits from which the remaining two tenants have been
rehoused. It is hoped that in its place sheltered housing through a
Housing Association might be developed over the next two to three
years although no final decision has yet been made. A full
consultation and option appraisal will be carried out with residents
and their families before any further recommendations are made. The
bedsits were unpopular with people on the waiting list due to shared
bathroom facilities.
I will follow up
on the next update with more photographs when the rubble has been
cleared.
Did you take
any photographs of the demolition? Would you like to share them on
this web site?
If so send
them in to Gary |
