The Corporation Street flats (Rydal, Coniston and Windermere) were among the first council homes to be built in Stafford, between 1951-52, under the direction of County Architect C.M.Coombes. Fifty-four flats were built in total. They employ the semi-circular archway motif, grouped balconies and horizontal fenestration employed in Modernist European municipal housing and later early British examples.
