Abstract: |
August 2007, Oxford Archaeology carried out a building survey at Clapham Park in advance of a major regeneration. The regeneration will involve the demolition of some of the blocks, the refurbishment of others and the construction of a series of new structures. The architecture in housing estates such as Clapham Park is generally unloved and the loss of these types of blocks is rarely mourned. However, estates such as these can teach us much about architecture and society in the 20th century. Clapham Park is particularly of interest as it retains housing blocks from different periods (particularly the 1930s, 1950s, and 1970s) so it is possible to draw comparisons between periods and to gain an indication of the changing architectural fashions in the field of social housing. |
