  • Think explosives might have been quicker...

  • It took longer to demolish than it did to build them.

    The 4 crecents were put up within 4 months, including roads etc.

    I watched the old Hulme torn down by demolition and the new Hulme being built, that is if you call it that, it was built like a deck of cards.

    Towards the end it ended up being a shit hole for scum, all the previous tennants left because of the conditions. People who lived in Hulme and Moss Side had their houses possessed by compulsory purchase order.

    They got £80.00

  • Watched them go up. Watched them go down. Shit hole condemned terraces replaced by shit hole deck access flats. Long live Robert Adams.

  • These things were monstrosities when they built them, hated straight away, typically bad modern design and architecture. The houses that were there before were better.

  • I used to drink in the Grey parrott round there after going to Man United. I saw someone setting fireworks off in their front room. They have created a new slum in about 20 year. Houses put up in ten minutes.

  • what a satisfying fob, id love to do that!

  • @gotobedandtickler im 14 so only know of hulme as it is now, its a shame but i s'pose they thought they were doing the right thing, quite a shame really, manchester could of been so much better.

    the fact that the people got only £80 is appalling!

  • Ouch! I pretended to be Mussolini on that very balcony

  • lol such a pathetic ball

  • That's one tough building. Probably would have been one of the buildings still standing after thousands of years if they showed it on the tv series Life after People

  • Im guessing this could take a while!!
