This Flashback Friday focuses on New Islington, previously known as the Cardroom Estate 🏗️

The plans for the regeneration programme were announced in 2000 and the top photo, taken in March 2009, shows the view from Old Mill Street looking north towards the emerging New Islington Marina and, in the background, Royal Mills.

The bottom photo, taken in 2023, shows part of the incredible progress that has been made over the past 15 years in this part of the city, looking towards the Marina, Cotton Field Park, Keepers Quay and Cotton Field Wharf.
