Alice Shepherd House, Manchester Road, Isle of Dogs, Tower Hamlets, London, 02/02/1970. A view from an access balcony in a multi-storey block of 'Sectra' flats at Alice Shepherd House, looking towards London's dockland. This 10-storey block of Sectra flats was built by Laing for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The contract started in November 1968 and was completed in early 1970 and was referred to by Laing as Satellite 1 due to it being seen as an extension of the contract to build Sectra flats at Lefevre Road. The block was constructed with access balconies, a brick clad lift tower, built in Storiform, and had views over London's dockland.
