IN ESTATE

Housing: council three thirteen floor highrise blocks four sets of maisonettes; association one three storey group of flats. Business: part of an engineering works; newspaper distribution; rehearsal rooms: sit within Dove Street Dove Street South an inner city central road loop.
From one of the upper floors in the middle highrise I lookout over the east side of town. The morning sun through my window peaks at summer reflecting afternoon and evening off the opposite block with its curtains drawn. Hardly use the heating in winter just enough to dry the hall ceiling damp from the immersion.
A lift at each end of the flats. Come in on Six at the back come out on to the road turn right and far side the Hillgrove seventy-five metres along from there the Hare both real ale pubs.
The lifts are being modernised this year one at a time the back first so it’s out of service meaning increased traffic at the front and a greater chance of meetings waiting then going up and/or down.
