"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 and Sala Houses). Site B, approved in 1970, consists of six 12-storey towers (Felton, Ronald, Stainer, Standish, Sterling and Wixom Houses).

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."

A bit late and a bit overdone. But I enjoyed my trip.
A mate wanted to go for a walk along the Thames and a burger. I convinced him to come here for the evening instead. This is a beautiful place, especially as it gets dark and various bits get lit up. The stairwells were mesmerising. It is such a peculiar place with 1% of the flats still occupied. What a weird place to live.
One side of the main road is now a mountain of rubble.
