Talk:Aylesbury Estate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Could definitely do with improvement. Ackie00 21:47, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

I have expanded and cleaned up a lot of the article, though I don't have access to an image at present. -- Francs2000 21:57, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

I'll get some pics. We could probably do with a hand drawn map too. Secretlondon 22:55, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

This needs the controversy - the fact that there was previously a ballot on demolition which went against the Council. Secretlondon 23:16, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

I've added 2 pics. I'm not sure of the name of the block pictured on Albany Road. I *think* it is Chiltern House, but I may be wrong. Secretlondon 05:15, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I'd like to make a plan of the estate giving block names. This would also show the scale, and list which Buckinghamshire towns they are named after. Secretlondon 19:28, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Any news on that estate plan? Or have the local council flattened it already? -- Francs2000 21:16, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

It's going to be there for several years yet.. I have a photo of a map on a sign but I hope I have something better to work from. I'm also not exactly sure re:file format etc. Secretlondon 22:42, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm mapping it via OpenStreetMap as it's a lot easier. Shiny estate map coming soon! Secretlondon 13:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

There's very little on the architecture of this estate on Wikipedia, but from the pictures I've seen of it it looks to be an example of Brutalist architecture. There appears to be no article on Derek Winch who was supposed to have designed it. Would someone who knows it a little better care to comment? A lot of brutalist architecture is now being demolished - I hold no candle for it!
