Looking west from the junction with Primrose Hill Road. The 1970s housing to the left is undergoing a major refurbishment. The large blocks of flats were designed by Dennis Lennon & Partners in consultation with S. A. G. Cook and built in the late 1960s and early 1970s as part of the post war development of this badly bomb damaged area. The nearest to the camera is Dorney, in the centre is Bray and the one in the far distance is Burnham. Out of sight, round the bend in the road is Taplow. Because the free holder of the historical Chalcots Estate in this area was Eton College all four blocks were named after villages near Eton.
