Summary

I took this photo from the top floor of w:Allermuir Court in January 2006 (shortly before the last 3 remaining residents were rehoused). The block has since been demolished and new low-rise housing is currently being built on the site. Below on Oxgangs Crescent, a small shopping precinct can be seen, this is also included in the regeneration programme and currently lies inactive (apart from a small w:Costcutter newsagent) and the houses above the shops are all now empty and boarded up. Further back, the Oxgangs Drive development can be seen, this was built in around 1963/64 and compromises of flats, bedsits and maisonettes (plus, 3 townhouses on the corner where Oxgangs Crescent meets Oxgangs Avenue). The long maisonette block in the centre of the scheme is called "Oxgangs House".
