soz if you're really not interested in estates facing imminent demolition, but the other day i visited another fascinating one - the excalibur estate of post-war prefabs in catford, SE london. the colours look a bit mental and lynchian but these photos are unedited; perhaps the ominous dark clouds represent the threat hanging over the idyll? i'll be putting up photos of individual houses on FACADE HUNTER.

as far as i know, there's a huge campaign to save the estate and i hope it's successful. the light and sky you've captured here is so wonderful too, you really emphasise the strangeness of the place. lovely photos as ever colin!
ReplyDeleteyeah that site i linked to is for the campaign i think. i spoke to a guy who lived there about it and it would be really sad if they lose it. apparently the council have offered them £30,000 each for the bought houses which seems insane
