Our latest pictures show the scale of the works at the 11-storey flats at the junction of Avenham Lane and Manchester Road, where cranes loom over the site and sections of the buildings are being carefully stripped back.
Richmond House was the first of the trio to enter the demolition phase in June 2025, following delays of more than a year to the original timetable.
Carlisle House and Lincoln House are now also part of the ongoing programme, which is expected to take around 15 months in total.
Rather than being brought down in a single dramatic implosion, the blocks are being dismantled floor by floor from the top down - a method designed to minimise disruption and improve safety.
The towers, built in the 1960s, have long been a defining feature on the southern edge of the city centre.
Plans to demolish them were confirmed after housing association Onward Homes determined they could not be upgraded to meet modern standards.
The blocks had previously had their cladding removed following the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire.
Around 180 households were consulted on the future of the site in 2022, with proposals for new housing expected to come forward once clearance is complete.
For now, the transformation is unmistakable. Shrouded in white protective sheeting and surrounded by towering red cranes, the once-familiar flats are being steadily prepared for their final removal.
