Abandoned, falling to ruin... eventually bulldozed
It was a housing estate that promised a new beginning, but would meet a sad end - abandoned, falling to ruin, eventually bulldozed.
"Raymond Atherton, 42, said: ‘There is no point wasting any more money on this area. The Council should bulldoze the lot and build factories on the land.’" The report continued: "It would be difficult to paint a more sombre picture than that which has developed over Gorsey Bank during the years, yet, when the Advertiser visited the estate we found there were two sides to the story.
In 1989 the Stockport Express reported: "Apart from vandalism and lack of security, people particularly mentioned the problem of leaving their house empty for any time, such as to go shopping. Problems included graffiti, rubbish being tipped in gardens, windows smashed and cars damaged."
