Gorsey Bank estate in Greater Manchester demolished 15 years ago after decline

The Gorsey Bank estate in Cheadle Heath, Greater Manchester, was demolished 15 years ago after years of decline. Once a promising community, it became known for vandalism and antisocial behavior, leading residents to call for its destruction. The last homes were cleared in 2007, and the site is now occupied by the Aurora Business Park. This redevelopment followed decades of neglect and a significant drop in the population, with many residents abandoning their homes. The estate, built in 1935, faced severe issues by the 1970s, prompting discussions about its future. Despite efforts to improve the area, it ultimately became a symbol of decay before its demolition.
