Alexandra Road Estate was built on a 16 acre site, formerly part of the Eyre Estate developed in the late C19th. It is a large Council-owned and built housing estate, designed in the late 1960s and executed in the 1970s, with landscaping an important component of the scheme. Three long low-rise stepped terraces are integrated with landscaped gardens, walkways and terraces, the flats provided with balconies and window boxes. It was the first post-war housing estate to be listed, described in 1993 as 'one of the most distinguished groups of buildings produced in England since the second World War and of exceptional architectural interest.' |
