Housing

NOTES: This Corporation of London housing complex was built on the northern edge of the City of London, an area devastated by bombing during World War II. It was to provide council housing at subsidised rents for the many people who serviced the offices in the City, particularly caretakers, secretaries and police officers, hence the emphasis was on one bedroom flats. The estate was further enlarged to the west and completed in 1962.

NOTES: This, the largest housing scheme by Westminster City Council, was built in four sections between 1946 and 1962. This photograph shows the estate before 1955 when the second two chimneys were added to Battersea Power Station which can be seen in the background.
