Dawson Heights, taken from Dog Kennel Hill.

The twin blocks at Dawson Heights were built in 1972, and form a dramatic on the local skyline.

Dawson's Hill, with one of the twin blocks of Dawson Heights perched at the top.

The estate at Dawson’s Heights was constructed between 1968 and 1972 and cost in total a little over £1.6 million to build.

A landmark building due to its elevated position, its craggy, stepped silhouette appearing as a man-made extension to the hill atop which it stands. Its 300 flats, each with its own balcony, are in two parallel ranges separated by a green space. In contrast to many public housing projects of the time - it was built in 1964-72 - it is clad in brown brick. Designed by Southwark Architect's Department. A listing application in 2012 by the Twentieth Century Society was rejected despite being supported by English Heritage.

Although the view does not look quite as clear as the photograph taken over five years before it was possible on this day to see Windsor Castle through binoculars. Here Canary Wharf and the towers around on the Isle of Dogs dominate the photograph.

These flats form a twin with Bredinghurst, shown in Image; together they are the Dawson Heights estate. The hill they are on,m Dawson's Hill, has been known as Primrose Hill, Dulwich Hill, and, indeed, Ladlands.

The title is the name of the medium-rise housing estate on the hill above Dulwich. The block in this photo, on the road called Overhill, is Bredinghurst.

Like a pair of car ferries stranded on top of the hill, these flats are a landmark for the area. Designed by Kate Macintosh, they were built between 1964 and 1972 and have become sought after for their views across London and the local area.

Dawson's Hill is on a ridge in South London. On a clear day, it has good views over London. In this image, the four white chimneys of Battersea Power station are clearly visible. Also just visible on the skyline, a bit to the right of the chimneys, is the Wembley Arch, nearly 20 km from Dawson's Hill.
