These five blocks of flats known as Holbeck Towers were cleared of residents back in 2008 and are due for demolition early in 2010.

They are right in the middle of a very rough area of Leeds and the council plays a continual game keeping them sealed up. Most of the time they do a good job but today I saw a chance and risking both life and limb, had a look round two of them. The risk of mugging or violence to your person is very high here so to wander around with a camera is not wise, probably why I have only ever seen outside shots of these before. The flats are mostly empty but a few bits and bobs remain.

Soon they will be gone but not forgotten because KE risked being bum raped to get these shots :thumb


Classic 1960s shiteholes. There are five identical blocks in a row.

The flats themselves have very little in them and are very dated.

Looking back down and making extreme haste to get clear before being stabbed or something.
