This talk will focus on two North London estates
The architecture on both estates was specifically designed with the communities for whom it was intended, while also looking at life on those estates and how it has evolved over time
The White Flats on the Whittington estate were designed between 1972 and 1979 by Peter Tabori and Ken Adie to create a place where a sense of community would flourish.
The Holly Lodge estate was built in the 1920’s. The original plan was to build houses on the entire estate but due to slow sales and the need for drainage from the higher ground, the land to the east of the new central road was instead acquired by Lady Workers' Homes Limited to build blocks of rooms for single women moving to London in order to work as secretaries and clerks.
The talk will cover what it is like to live on the local estates where there is a strong sense of community and solidarity amongst neighbours. Both the White Flats and Holly Lodge have served a range of people in their time and have becoming living history themselves, responding to the needs of the time and supporting their tenants through major points in their lives.
The White Flats film (20 minutes) will be shown, followed by a Q&A
Speakers Roger Elliott - Chair, Holly Lodge Community Centre
