Scenes from a demolition, Haggerston Estate

The machinery

The empty buildings

The empty rooms

Even the local pub is demolished

although some elements remain

Samuel House is still in use with pictures of former residents on the windows of the empty flats. (part of I Am Here project - see www.iamhere.org.uk/ )
