Aerial views of the Hardwick Estate
These three aerial views show parts of the Hardwick Estate in December 1994. Two shots are of the estate itself, and one is of the old English Martyrs RC Primary School which was amalgamated in September 2002 with St Peter & St Pauls RC Primary School to form the new St Gregorys Catholic Primary School. The English Martyrs building was left in the summer of 2005 and demolished shortly afterwards to make way for the new Hardwick Green Primary school.
