MUFC_OK Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Does anyone actually live in them anymore?? I went passed them before the game today, for the first time in years and they looked totally derelict!! It would be a shame to let them go like that, I always had a bit of a soft spot for them.

UnkleBob Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 many are being moved off, i grew up on there, i won't be sorry to see em go, they were ok, but the last few years, not nice at all. Very intimidating, and that's from an ex resident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very intimidating, and that's from an ex resident. It's a shame. It's so close to the city centre, would be a mint place to live if it got kept ok. Why is it so intimidating these days?

UnkleBob Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 when you walk along the gantry you can't see what or who's round the next corner, could be someone on a bike flying at you, a mugger, dealer, really. Plus it's semi derilict. try it if you don't believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same. The day they were knocked down was a sad day. The social problems there were worse than Park Hill though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrietta Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Aren't Park Hill listed, meaning they can't be demolished? Were they the pioneering 'villages in the sky' from the 60's/70's..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on 'In the pipeline', then 'next', then it's under Sheffield. I think they've beeen moving people out for work to begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
