A ramp into the Heygate Estate by Rodney Road
Although most of the estate is vacated, closed off and in course of demolition and redevelopment, premises overlooking Rodney Road remain open and accessible. At the upper level are the Institute of Traditional Karate-Do and Performing Arts and, to its right, set back, the Angelus Temple of the Foursquare Gospel Church. The view is from the corner of Content Street and Rodney Road.

Peabody Trust flats, Walworth, Rodney Street frontage
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.
