    The two blocks that was demolished was "Tunstall Court" and "Skelton Court",
    Freshfields as listed is the new name for Griesdale Court as was sold by council and now private flats.
    There are 16 floors in each block, 15 on one side and 16 on the other side
    This area is known as the Charlestown Towers.

    The first image shown is not connected with these blocks it is located on VIctoria Avenue 2 miles away and is called "Liverton Court"
