Home sweet (demolished) home

I was surprisingly upset to read that my last home in England is due to be demolished in the near future:

Middlesbrough Council have announced plans to demolish up to 1,500 homes in the centre of the town. Find out exactly which streets are involved.

The whole regeneration programme could cost as much as £160m, and may take as long as 15 years to complete.

However, Middlesbrough Council expect much of the major demolition to be underway within five years.

The areas scheduled for "mainly demolition and new build activities" are marked on this map in red.

As you can see from this excerpt from Google Maps, I lived in almost the centre of the area to be carpetbombed redeveloped:
