Limmen Gardens: Flats

Limmen Gardens is situated on the west of the Stonebridge Park Estate, with the Pym Walk footpath running down the south side next to the Bluebell Hill Community Centre. There use to be a pedestrian underpass here leading under Beaconhill Rise Road, however, it was filled in in 2003. Limmen Gardens road runs off Beaconhill Rise road, with the main body of flats on the right hand side, and a long row of flats on the left in front of the green open space. The road leads down, round the corner to a cul-de-sac, facing Jersey Gardens. The flats were built in 1976, and all were demolished in 2009-10. These photographs show the flats as they were in 2004.
