Rebuilt council houses, Ripon Road, Worcester
The white pair of semi-detached houses in the distance are the original design of house on the Ronkswood estate. These have been gradually replaced, one-by-one, by the design represented by the three pairs of red brick houses nearer the camera.

Site of former church, Worcester
This was where the 1960s church known at 'the drum' was sited before its demolition due to structural issues. It has been replaced by these flats but there are plans to build a worship space on some free land to the rear. Fundraising is in progress and I hope to bring you a picture of the finished project in due course. See -

There it was gone! - Holy Trinity and St Matthew's Church
This 1960s design round church at the centre of the estate was demolished before Xmas 2014. It is seen before demolition here -

It was built in 1965 and closed in 2012 when part of the roof collapsed. Demolition started in November 2014 and it is to be replaced by a new multi-use building to serve the congregation and the community.
I used the post office just out of sight to the left on 31-12-14 and don't notice that something big was missing.
