Theresa Derby was the final resident to leave the flats and she might also be one of the last to recover from the situation’s traumatic side-effects.
This would be understandable. Theresa, 54, spent 30 years at 237e Blackness Road and fought tooth and nail both to buy her property and to stop it being demolished.
She also loved living there and when forced to leave felt she had been unfairly treated by Dundee City Council.
Theresa’s departure on February 23 2020 marked the final day of around 130 years of continuous habitation in the flats.
“I passed the flats the other day as they were being demolished and it brought a tear to my eye to see it like that,” Theresa says.
