I found these photographs (taken c.1988?) in the bottom of a plan chest drawer. They show James Stirling’s Runcorn Housing which was designed in 1967, built 1970-1977 and demolished in 1990. Read what Stirling had to say about the original brief for the project and the subsequent decision to demolish: Link to article in Building Design.
James Stirling 22 April 1926 – 25 June 1992
That brings back good memorys, I miss the old smelly place, what i would give to go back to the “washing machines with T.V’s in them” once said by Prince Charles

We used to live in the blue & yellow houses nearby until 1987, I’d love to see photos of those!
