Construction of Affordable Housing

This photo shows the construction starting on a block of affordable housing. It is at the very eastern end of the "Brewery Square" development site close to Dorchester South Station. However it has been squeezed onto a tiny patch of land between the railway lines and the eastern access road to the main site, which is not the nicest of locations. In the similar fashion to council houses of the 20th C the not so well off people are pushed to the margins. This only shows the base of the building. When it is finished it will be five storeys high and will dominate the immediate area that has no tall buildings.
