Underhill Road, LONDON, SE22 0QR

Built between 1964 and 1972 to design by architect Kate Macintosh of the London Borough of Southwark. An account of the building of this housing estate may be found at this https://municipaldreams.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/dawsons-heights-east-dulwich-an-example-of-the-almost-lost-art-of-romantic-townscape/. View from Horniman Gardens.

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.

A flight of steps leading up to "Bredinghurst", one of the two blocks of flats built at Dawson Heights in 1972.

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.

Too small to see at this scale, but by the white fence is a footpath called Overhill Passage, so a bit of topography in the street names here.

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.

Two blocks of flats were built at Dawson Heights in 1972. They dominate the skyline, as can be seen in images Image and Image

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