Housing in Liverpool is always changing and adapting to the city's evolving needs.
Often, these changes are gradual and can almost go unnoticed as they progress around us.
But sometimes, this clearing out of the old to make way for the new is sudden, noteworthy and downright dramatic.

This was certainly the case in 2005 when the old Sheil Road flats were demolished to make space for new low rise housing which was intended to better suit the needs of the local community.
At 1.09pm on Sunday, March 13, the Linose Close tower block fell in a matter of seconds - immediately erasing a piece of Liverpool architecture that had been around for decades.
T he ECHO has launched a new 56-page nostalgia supplement in print. It's packed with photos from the recent past and the not-so-recent, from shopping, fashion and music to the Albert Dock – plus an elephant on parade in Woolton. You can order a copy here.
Linose Close was one of three tower blocks which made up the Sheil Road flats, alongside Kenley Close and Pendine Close.
Each of the tower blocks stood at 22 stories and, at the time, they dominated the skyline of this area of the city.
Now with so many city centre high rises and new developments, the height of these tower blocks doesn't seem as impressive.
But when they were completed in 1967, the Sheil Road flats could be seen for miles around and represented an imposing presence on the city skyline.
Each tower block had 172 homes, and the development took three years to build after it was fully approved in 1964.
But just short of 40 years later, they were razed to make way for a different form of housing designed to offer the flats' residents a better quality of life.
All three towers were demolished during 2001 and 2005.
BBC presenter Alan Yentob pressed the button for the demolition, as part of a documentary he was filming called A Short History of Tall Buildings.
As one of Liverpool's highest tower blocks fell, the loud blast could be heard for miles around the site and the building collapsed in a matter of seconds.
Speaking to the BBC at the time, local resident Clare Anders said: "It's amazing that they blew them so quickly, and it will be strange not seeing them there anymore... but the new houses will be a lot nicer for people".
The implosion of Linosa Close in Sheil Park made way for the construction of new houses for rent from Liverpool Housing Action Trust.
These properties were made available to people of the New Deal area in Kensington.
Footage of the demolition can still be found on YouTube, with the videos attracting comments from people who remember the flats.
One resident commented: "I remember the three Sheil Road high rise flats - they stood out for miles! I used to go past these on my way to the infamous Grafton, all lit up of a night."
Another said: "My dad's dad lived there and I can remember him lifting me up over the balcony to see across miles of Liverpool. Would've been 1968/69. The view out was always better than the view in."
