Abandoned flats, Mansfield Gardens

Built in the 1970s, these flats started to be abandoned around 2002 and have become an eyesore for residents of this part of Hawick. The flats are liable to flooding - and have been a few times - which is probably partly why they are abandoned. As of 2010, the local housing association has no plans for demolition or redevelopment of these flats.
