Blenheim Gardens Estate, a new mixed development of flats and houses at the rear of Lambert Road, nearing completion. In the background can be seen the tower of St Saviour's church. The development comprises terraces and courtyards and represented a move away from the earlier complex, and difficult to manage, medium-rise layouts of similar social housing projects. There was a realisation that modern terraced houses were just as efficient in land use terms as medium-rise developments, were cheaper to build and much more popular with the tenants.Photograph by Sydney Newbery
