. Jackson, Ced. Lambeth Interface Published by the Author 1975.
Tells how Lambeth under its Director of Development, Ted Hollamby planned the wholesale destruction of virtually the entirety of the existing housing stock in favour of building new estates such as Stockwell Park Estate and Myatts Fields, North and South. Useful insight into housing & planning policy in operation during that short period when having finally gotten steam up following the second World War it was on the point of collapse because it was on the one hand too ambitious and on the other ...... totally misguided.
