I remember where they were... I used to sub contract to ISG (Bradford council's own window division) & installed new doors to all of the flats around 2010. They are the same type of flat as the ones on Churchbank close to where the Cock & Bottle pub used to be. I installed doors & windows on those also. I remember the taller flats being demolished both at West Bowling & just past these on the opposite side of Manchester Road. I often wonder why so many high rise council flats in Bradford have gone. Considering Leeds has dozens untouched & still standing.

Nobody wanted to live in them and only %50 were lived in, total money pits and lifts were broken down more days than they worked.
The re bar with in the concrete had started to fail and were coming to the end of life.
👍
nice footage. I knew people who used to live there.
Glad you enjoyed it
I lived in hapsburg court which is near there
I can't quite remember where these blocks were... Was it on the West Bowling side of Manchester Road?
Very bottom of Manchester Road near the Bod pub ( now a curry house).
