Glynne Street, Bootle

Here were rows and rows of Victorian terraced houses boarded up awaiting demolition. It's a cliche but there was a distinct ghost-town feel to the place, the silence punctured only by occasional eerie creakings and bangings. I don't understand the economics or the logic, if there is any, of demolishing houses like this.
