TQ3473 : Dawson's Heights, Overhill Road (2)

taken 9 years ago, near to Dulwich, Southwark, England

Dawson's Heights, Overhill Road (2)
Dawson's Heights, Overhill Road (2)
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.
