Masefield House, with Thackeray House in the background. The decision to demolish the high rise blocks was made public, early in 1989, the tenants had been lied to by the council for about four years. Rumours had started in 1986 that eventually the blocks would be demolished, and as you can imagine, the tenants were overjoyed at this prospect. They were horrible buildings, concrete monstrosities. (1990)
