British Tower Blocks - Page 114

CertainRomance · October 22nd, 2010, 12:45 PM

Thought I'd do Edinburgh as there's not a lot said about it. Not as many blocks as many other UK cities but still have their share.

Muirhouse:

Calders:

Wester Hailes:

Moredun:

Craigmillar:

Restalrig:

Oxgangs (High-rise demolished):

Broomhouse:

Leith:

Ok, clearly I can't use this site.

Hey!

This thread has gone to sleep.

Can someone post some more photos and comments on here.

Why the recent photos of Glasgow aren't posted here? Am I doing a mistake?

Anybody seen the new film Weekend? Set in Nottingham and one of the characters lives in Lenton flats, can't believe they are earmarked for demolition.

well here i am with your answer 5 years later

(i only found this thread the other day and enjoyed reading every post)so i thought id join! sadly all 15 15storey blocks on the norfolk park hillside are long gone but about 20 blocks remain scattered across sheffield and they should remain for many a year as they have all had a refurb in the last few years

its also nice to see the famous park hill complex getting a major make over(slow progress to say the least)and are now in the hands of a private developer and will be fetching about 90k if they ever get finished.
