14 farewell pictures as final demolition gets underway on former Avenham flats in Preston

Final demolition work is currently underway at the tower blocks in Avenham.

The flats - at the junction of Avenham Lane and Manchester Road in Avenham - were initially due to be brought down in phases from March 2024.

However, the process was pushed back more than a year, with work finally commencing on Richmond House in June 2025, now followed by Carlisle House and Lincoln House.

The 11-storey blocks - built back back in the 1960s - had to have their cladding removed in the wake of the fatal Grenfell Tower fire in London in 2017.

Take a look at the latest demolition scenes.
