Lichfield Street (2005)

Demolition of homes in Lichfield Street in 2005

Properties numbered 133-143 Lichfield Street in the new City Waterside neighbourhood. This image, taken in 2005, shows the demolition work which was part of the Eastwood Road Housing Compulsory Purchase Order.

It looks absolutely brilliant, as good as a new house! It makes me feel proud to live here.

I will be glad to go. It’s not a nice place to live... There’s no community left here any more.
