When I was a kid I used to think it reminded me of the area where I lived (architecturally speaking, though we've had a fair bit of drama on my street).

20 years on and the similarities are still there :lol:

Excellent pics. You'd have thought a builder would have taken over the land by now!!

I believe someone was planning to redevelop the close but went bust before any work started.

its a shame to see it like that,used to like brookie

I thought they had been sold off for development ages ago, but I suspect theres a lot of work needed as the houses were built for filming so don't have all the internal walls a normal house has (or have big gaps in the ones that are there.

How sad. I used to love Brookie and such a shame it has been left to fall into disrepair. I agree with earlier post, why hasn't a builder snapped this place up? 'As seen on TV' and all that.

Please note this is my first EVER reply on DB so hope I've complied!

The point about the structure is an important one - many of the houses had rooms that were partitioned with plasterboard and had apertures cut in them for cameras. These partitions were then moved around quite frequently I believe and as such the houses were effectively just brick shells.

In 2009 the set was used in a fairly rubbish British film called Salvage as well:

Ha! In my head, this site is called Derelict Buildings rather than Places so that should explain my silly error. Soz!! :neutral:
