A bleak vision awaits those visiting Greendykes in 2009. The remaining houses are almost totally empty now, except for the multi-storey flats. | |
 |
The criss-cross effect of the grass was never intended in this communal clothes-drying area. A crack or gap is all grass needs to thrive once the people have gone. | |
 |
There are one or two houses still occupied here it seems. Not all the windows have metal shutters. Someone has covered up the word Greendykes but left the word Gardens on the sign. | |
 |
The houses await demolition. The doors and windows are shuttered with metal to keep out those who would start fires or steal copper pipe. | |
 |
The tiles are peeling on this floor - all that remains of a leveled building. In the distance are the two blocks of flats: Wauchope House and Greendykes House. |
