Chapeltown's high rise flats


Recommended Posts

I did,nt see it but I remember my uncles talking about. It was around about the time they were bulding the three story houses at Woolly Wood , there was a massive earth mover terracing the hill behind one of the part built blocks when it toppled over and demolished the end two units. Luckily there was no one in them at the time.

I'd love to see that too. Do you think you could put it on YouTube for us please? :)

 

I lived on Habershon from birth to being three and a half, and remember the flats quite well.
