Most of these were demolished in the late-1960s when a big Greater London Council estate, Lecaplan "concrete" construction residences-- the Flowers' Estate-- was built to replace them, one more time with pre-fabricated residences, albeit of a premium style. The Lecaplan Kind B type of pre-cast concrete (big panel concrete) terrace is created in rows of eight properties to a design by J C Tilley and also made by W. & C. French.
