The flats on Richardson Road, affectionately known as "Ricky Road" by the students who live there, are set for demolition to be replaced by more student accommodation.
Edit: They were demolished in 2016 and I've added a few photos of the construction of the new student accomodation on Richardson Road.

Really well composed, this are hard to photograph as the area is so compact.
I have some on my blog from a while back
http://herbwormwood.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/richardson-road-flats.html
the news on the redevelopment is that the plans are for 1,300 new flats to replace the existing complex.
Cheers, yes it was quite difficult to photograph.
