Lewis Trust Demolition Works

As reported by LETRA last November, that the building works on the Samuel Lewis Trust Estate were due to start; and all residents of the Burne Jones House, Samuel Richardson House and The Grange will be aware, the main demolition to our neighbouring flats is now in full swing. 
This is the first phase of the redevelopment that is due to continue over the next five years. The exterior facade of the buildings will remain, while the internal layouts are to be remodelled, requiring the internal demolition of the inside walls, which will probably be the worst part of the job at this stage, as it will cause prolonged noise pollution, later works should be quieter.
 Once finished the regeneration is going to provide an extra 38 homes, with an attractive exterior redesign and be called the Lisgar Terrace Estate; in addition, it is proposed to give the blocks new addresses, each named after the paintings of Edward Burne Jones.
