User:Lukester2002/Abbey Park, Halifax

Abbey Park council estate in Halifax, West Yorkshire was originally built in the 1970's as pre fabricated concrete structures built by George Wimpeys. Originally for the respectable council tenants. It originally consisted of several types of sizes from 3,4 and 5 bedroom houses, 1 and 2 bedroom masonetts and 1 and 2 bedroom flats. During the late 1980's the estate seen approx 1/3rd of the estate flattened to make way for private building land. And the rest of the estate was given a full refurbishment in 1988 and the last major one up to date Feb2012. In the year another 2/3rd of the remaining estate was flattened to make way for more newer buildings as the properties where run down over the years.

To this day approx less than 1/4 of the original historic estate remains but it is still well over due a refurbishment. This place is to be real history in the future as it really is one of a kind, and will hopefully be here for a very long time regardless of its on and off good and bad history.
