The estate was build in the mid-1960s to house people from Liverpool displaced by the programme of slum clearance. Created with good intentions, Cantril Farm quickly declined into a \u2018sink estate\u2019. By 1982 49% of men and 80% of young people were unemployed, with burglary, violent crime, car theft, arson, and abandoned properties (retail and residential) being rife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1983 the 2\/3 of the estate in Knowsley was sold to Stockbridge Village Trust Limited and the area was renamed Stockbridge Village. The area in Liverpool was kept by the council and the Cantril Farm name was retained. Four of the nine tower blocks in the estate were demolished along with 600 maisonettes and 340 low-rise flats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fun(?) facts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cantril Farm picked up the nickname Cannibal Farm<\/li><li>Craig Charles (Red Dwarf) grew up here<\/li><li>Indie band Space wrote their song Neighbourhood about growing up here<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a photo of a parade of shops. For those not from the UK a parade is a group of 5 to 40 shops in a row, with small units and a mainly local customer base. These rows often have accommodation above (see my photos from Speke). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opposite the parade of shops on Baycliff Road there\u2019s a green, open space. On the edge someone has planted and decorated a single Christmas tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this area there are lots of these residential, pedestrian streets with no road outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a Twitter account called <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UrbanGoals\">@UrbanGoals<\/a> that collects photos of goal posts painted onto walls. I\u2019ll have to send them the one I saw at the end of Baron\u2019s Hey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One end of Mab Lane has two road signs, the original and the new one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of abandoned petrol stations have found a new lease of life as a drive-through hand car wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grahamholland\/posts\/10158085442686275\" data-width=\"552\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/everysinglestreet?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#everysinglestreet<\/a> [12\/12\/20] Stockbridge Village with the ghost of Cantril Farm<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CityStrides?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CityStrides<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/runeverystreet?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#runeverystreet<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EveryStreetInLiverpool?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EveryStreetInLiverpool<\/a> <br><br>Today: 23 streets<br>Total: 2,163 (38.47%)<br>Remaining: 3,460<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xQVTTMBDNe\">https:\/\/t.co\/xQVTTMBDNe<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6mbaD6wkfs\">pic.twitter.com\/6mbaD6wkfs<\/a><\/p>&mdash;
