Ferrier Kidbrooke – death of a housing ideal
August 19th, 2011
Welcome to the Ferrier Kidbrooke estate, this is was the view as you leave left the station.
Bottom centre, a row of shops, much diminished now owing to lack of custom because the estate is mostly empty. Bottom right the corner of a poster put up by the developers, Berkeley Homes for the new Kidbrooke Village.
Kidbrooke Village – Phase One
August 19th, 2011
This is an edited version of the original article since the “kitchen” is my main objection.
The living room is the largest room in the flat, extending the full width of the structural bay, containing an L shaped row of kitchen units completely ruining the effect.
Every time I look at this I think it stinks – it’s appalling – it’s not a kitchen

August 19th, 2011
A beautiful sunlit day, unlike yesterday which was overcast and raining, so off again to Thamesmead, this time to cover the bits I missed and to get some decent photographs.
