Ferrier Estate

Ferrier Estate

The Ferrier Estate in Kidbrooke, south-east London, is a typical example of system built social housing in the United Kingdom from the 1950s to the 1970s. The Ferrier is located to the south of Kidbrooke railway station and the A2 Rochester Way, to the north of the A20, to the east of Blackheath and the west of Eltham.

Construction

Ferrier was constructed by the London Borough of Greenwich on an old brownfield site to the east of Blackheath. The Ferrier Estate was built on two sites. Site A, approved in 1967, consisted of five 12-storey towers (Clegg, Crozier, Goldmark, Leclair & Sala Houses). Site B, approved in 1970, consists of six 12-storey towers (Felton, Ronald, Stainer, Standish, Sterling & Wixom Houses). [ [http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/cx/?id=ferrierestate-london Ferrier Estate, London ] ] The estate was built using a system of concrete panels, usually manufactured on site rather like the Thamesmead estate in order to enable buildings to be erected quickly. The Ferrier Estate is one of the most deprived and run-down areas in London.Fact|date=October 2007

Future plans

In recent years, plans have been put in place to demolish the Ferrier Estate and replace it with a new estate with a mixture of low- and medium-rise housing. Phased transferring of the tenants started in 2006 and will go through until 2011. While and demolition of the estate starts in October 2008.

The new estate will begin to be constructed in March 2009
