I was a kid when they started the demolitions in the mid-60's and the continued until through until late 70's / early 80's. I remember being quite frightened and confused, every Saturday when I went into town on the bus with me mam and dad there'd be another vast wasteland which had been created. Huge spaces full of smouldering rubbish, topped with miserable grey skies.
As a result, I've always been really interested in that period and what it did to the town. My paintings on the theme (see earlier post in thread) are from old film footage and an extensive collection of photos of the time.
