They were built in 1957/58, and as John Davies says all along that stretch of Birchfield Road were huge residences in their own grounds. The family of a schoolfriend of mine lived in the middle block, and when they were new the flats were pretty nice places - no vandalism or graffitti, just decent families glad to have been moved out of the Summer Lane scrums. Even the lifts worked! I'm glad they're coming down though, as they'd become a real eyesore, as has the underpass, if anyone's driven through it recently.
