After the whole area from London Wall to Old Street was destroyed by the Luftwaffe in 1940, the Golden Lane Estate was the first significant re-development. Having won the competition to design the area, Geoffry Powell eventually completed work on the Estate in 1962.
For some this is the epitome of Brutalism - functional and vile - but it was grade II listed in 1997 and you have to admit that it has a certain charm. Exhibit in Golden Lane (at the hub of the current creative boom in the area) plays host this month to an exhibition that looks at the history of the estate from the initial designs right up to how it is today.
On display are original designs, sketches and archive materials donated by the families of the architects. This is a fascinating insight into an area that is - to some extent - a microcosm of our fair capital.
Extended until 23.05.09.
