Urban Liverpool and a Cornish fishing village might seem poles apart - but 50 years ago a city estate was modelled on one, however unlikely it may seem.
Built in the mid 1970s at a cost of £4m, the Radcliffe estate in Everton was made up of 512 closely-built homes on a stretch of land between Shaw Street and Everton Road. Despite the ambitious plans an architect had for the development, it was the "Cornish fishing village" design which is said to have led to its downfall just 11 years later.
By 1988 all of the houses on the estate stood empty and abandoned and the bulldozers were ready to move in.
