NOTES: Designed in 1928 by Arthur George Porri, and embellished by Marcus and Owen Collins, the Carreras cigarette factory, was nicknamed the Black Cat factory, because of the two large bronze cats which flanked the entrance. In the 1960s these were removed and shipped to Carreras factories elsewhere and the neo-Egyptian decoration stripped off. In 1999 Finch Forman were commmissioned to carry out structural repairs and restore the Egyptian facade, with Munkenbeck & Marshall designing a new foyer and access ramp to the front entrance.

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.
