Well thanks DG for coming and visiting the neighbourhood I live in, how nice that you chose a bright afternoon to visit, it really helps to show off the brick work in a positive light.
As a short aside, an American lady writes quite a nice London blog and has written a number of interesting posts on the area previously too http://anditfeelslikehome.blogspot.com/ |

Just came on to say have a Happy Christmas and New Year |

Lovely post - never heard of the place.
Keeping with seasonal names, there's a tower block on Abbey Road called Snowman House. I think it's named after a councillor rather than a frozen mister. Merry Christmas, M@ |

Just dropped by to wish you all a Happy Christmas. |

I love good archetecture. Thanks especially for the link to Wikipedia showing the floor plans. Fascinating stuff. |

Merry Christmas dg. Nice post - thought I recognised some of the links! It is a bit of a gem, and as you say, thanksfully the gardens are too small for cars (a visit to, say, Barkingside or Ilford is instructive in showing how the motorised vehicled can wreck the appearance of housing estates....) The area emerges well in comparison with the similar Warner estates of Walthamstow and Leyton owing to a greater cohesion and wider streets. (see for instance the small area around Clementina Road E10) |

Funnily enough I work beside, and lived on a former Artizans Estate, The Queens Park site, which was built in 1874 just before the Noel Park estate. And the architecture is almost exactly the same, although the area has diversified some what in it's housing stock since it was established. Infact it was the turrets in your post that made me check out if there was a link. Great work as usual DG, however do you the integrity of your output to remain consistently high? Bravo! |

There's also a rather nice non-roundabout, for the benefit of a large tree |
