The Walworth Estate first appears as Peabody Buildings on the Ordnance Survey map of 1914-21. It replaced cramped terraced houses. It's interesting that the spectacular Heygate Estate to the northwest, which appears to date from the early 1970s, is being demolished and redeveloped; Peabody housing has outlasted it.
