A striking testament to the architect Berthold Lubetkin's "undying interest in pattern-making". The estate, designed by Skinner, Bailey & Lubetkin in 1955-57, comprises two Y-shaped blocks (part of one is seen here), eight smaller ones, each named after one of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, a pub and a library. The main materials are brick, reinforced concrete faced in Kentish-ragstone aggregate. More views here: Image], Image] and Image
