Looking north-west over the Aylesbury Estate, showing the 'Centre Building' with its 170ft chimney and Taplow House, a 14-storey block of flats on the right.

At the time it was the largest industrialised housing scheme ever undertaken by a London Borough, providing homes for more than 7000 people, comprising of low and high-rise linear blocks from four to fourteen-storeys high containing flats and maisonettes, built using the 12M Jespersen system.
