Along with the surrounding tower blocks, Walker Shopping Centre is due for demolition to make way for new housing and shopping development.
The first photos were taken in October 2018 with demolition due to start soon I will return for more photos during the process.
Edit: After many delays, demolition of the flats has begun.
30th November 2024
It was decided to blow up Hexham House with a controlled demolition rather than slowly nibble away at it like they had done with Titan House. After many delayed dates the demolition finally took place on November 30th 2024.
