The beginning of the end of Gurnell Street Gurnell Street is an L shaped street, so has north, south, east and west sides. As part of the Advance Crosby scheme it is proposed to demolish all of it, though this may be phased over a number of years. Eventually new housing will be provided but as yet no developer has been found who will commit to this work. But the demolitions go on. Here the first part of Gurnell Street to go (the west side) has been flattened and the rubble is in process of being cleared. What was there before can just be seen on the extreme left of <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1916766">SE8911 : Scunthorpe Church of England Primary School</a>. The trees are in the now closed Scunthorpe Cemetery.
