Built in the 1960s as part of a huge slum clearance between Albion Hill and Carlton Hill with John Street being the eastern end of the development. The flats stand on the former eastern side of Dinapore Street which ran between Albion Hill and Richmond Street, see http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume27/source/jg_27_082.html , that were demolished around 1961 though some of the western housing had been removed by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. The large block on the left is Richmond Heights whilst the top of Normanhurst can be seen above Dinapore House.
