Demolition of Williamwood High School

A series of photographs chronicling the demolition of the old Williamwood High School (formerly Eastwood High School) to make way for flats and town houses. The first photo was taken on the 5th of July, 2006 and the final on the 30th May 2009. As of this time there is still construction going but this section appears to be completed.

Photos from 0:44 onwards were taken with a wider lens which is why I was able to zoom out in the video and get more in the shot.

More photos of the site are available at:

The site was bought by two developers, who own about half of the site each. One developer built the houses that are there and occupied just now, while the other one went bust before building anything. So now half the site is those new houses while the other half is still a derelict wasteland.

Nicely done Mark, and good to see the old school. Went there 1967/68/69.

The school looked better than a bunch of cookie-cutter flats for sure
