This is the south-west elevation of the block. Malvern along with Quantock, Pennine and Chiltern comprise the Queensway Estate whose first tenants moved in from 1967 onwards. The estate was built in conjunction with the Queensway Ring Road scheme and replaced a grid of long-forgotten terraced streets built in the late C19. In the intervening years the estate has been beset by all the issues affecting other such high-rise developments and there are frequent calls for its major refurbishment or demolition.
