Re: Hebburn Newtown Flats in the 1970s
I remember all of those and the Argyle Street flats. The Argyle Street flats lasted 15 to 20 years. Durham Court is the only block out of all of them that has lasted for 50 years. Cumberland, Westmorland and Northumberland Courts all lasted between around 20 and 40 years. I've no idea why any of them were demolished, but they certainly didn't last very long.
