A couple of shots of the remaining flats in 1996 from the Racecourse. You can see that in addition to the "modernized" Shelley and Spencer Houses the developers retained Blake and Cowper. The latter two were also to be developed. Unfortunately the developers made a mess of the whole thing and Blake and Cowper were eventually demolished in 1999.
