The estate was earmarked for demolition just 11 years after it was built
Urban Liverpool and a Cornish finishing village might seem worlds apart - but an estate in Everton was once modelled on one. The Radcliffe Estate was built in the the mid 1970s on a stretch of land between Shaw Street and Everton Road. The estate was made up of 512 closely-built homes as part of ambitious plans an architect had for the land. However, it was the design of the development which is said to have led to its downfall just 11 years later when it was earmarked for demolition.
John said he was shocked when the estate was demolished a few years later and he still has fond memories of his time living there. He told the ECHO: 'I was shocked because I thought they were good houses, obviously they were a little bit compact but I didn't mind compactness, you tend to get on with your neighbours better and it's a bit more social.
