Blake, Cowper and Keats House

Someone being interviewed outside Chaucer House on the subject of crime, social disintegration, and the effect that this had on the residents. You can see how badly the area had deteriorated by the state of the flat in the background. Compare it against these early pictures below.

Finally a picture of Chaucer Court in 1987. You can see how far the area has deteriorated. Many of the flats are boarded up and empty. You can see that the end of the estate is not far away once it has fallen into this state. Thanks to Alan Jones for this. Note see the memories section for a detail account of the history of the rise and fall of the estate written by Alan Jones.
