Red Road

I've been promising myself a trip to the Red Road flats for ages. I wanted a photo of them before they are gone for good. I kept putting it off and putting it off and then one day they demolished the first one. I didn't want a shot of the demolition, I find it quite a sad thing. I wanted a shot of them standing. My reason for this is that way back in the '60s I was an apprentice draughtsman with the company that made the steelwork for these flats which were the tallest in Europe at the time.

It's still quite a sad sight today, but at least I've got the pic.
