Following on from Ghost town on your doorstep, the photos here are a sample of some of the workmanship of the flat smashers and their legacy on this estate.
As you can see, most of the flats here are in good condition. It is still amazing that this is happening at all, that there are perfectly fine flats here whilst outside, homeless people are struggling in the cold.

Is this the Blair Witch Project? Together with zombie-like junkies on the estate last week, and we have our own horror movie set right here.

Window panes from the outer windows removed in this one.
More horror movie set.
Is this the oldest (and most worn) steel door on the entire estate?
