- During the period 2000-2003 tenants of three tower blocks in Sheffield were decanted to make way for the demolition of the flats which had been built by Gleason during 1969-70. Demolishing council housing was all the rage in those days
- because it would push up property prices
- and rising property prices were an integral part of the 'Perpetual Motion Machine' that drove anglo-saxon Capitalism
- until 2008. The tenants were given 'home-loss' grants to lessen the impact of moving
- and as a result many left furniture and kitchen ware behind. There was even an abonded coffin in a room which had been the roost by pigeons for several months. Visiting the flats was quite interesting. The approach to the doors was covered in shattered g
- and higher up the rooms alternated between those full of pigeon droppings
- and some with comfortable beds and furniture which looked quite habitable. There was also evidence of hard drug use.
