Final Demolition Of Ribble Heights, Grange Estate, Ribbleton.

I am so gutted that I never knew 5 blocks of flats on the Grange estate in Ribbleton had been abandoned for some time before being demolished! It was a recent Blog Preston article that made me aware. At least I managed to capture some of the final stages of the demolition, they were probably impossible to get in anyway due to the high security and metal sheets on all the entrances and windows... I'd like to think. Never mind, can't win them all. :/

All the buildings you see that make up ribble heights are going, no plans in place to replace, just a heads up, these sites are monitored by motion detector vision they cover all internal site monitoring and is linked directly to security and police, but yeah, it's going back to the original estate as i remember before they came, and for the forcible future, will return to nature, 👍

That's good to know, in a way. Sounds like there wouldn't have been much of an opportunity to enter the buildings. I'm wondering if any of the other blocks are being demolished or if it was only those 5?

@bryannamyo it's all the high rise blocks going, it's only the original Grange estate houses that are staying, all the blocks are pritty much if not vacated for demolition, and as i say, no plan to replace them, will return as it was before ribble heights was built buddy
