Aylesbury Estate, Walworth, Southwark, Greater London. A young girl seated on a bench in front of a recently completed block of flats on the Aylesbury Estate, built using the 12M Jespersen system.
In 1963, John Laing and Son Ltd bought the rights to the Danish industrialised building system for flats known as Jespersen (sometimes referred to as Jesperson). The company built factories in Scotland, Hampshire and Lancashire producing Jespersen prefabricated parts and precast concrete panels, allowing the building of housing to be rationalised, saving time and money. Laings Southern Region started building the Aylesbury Estate in 1967. At the time it was the largest industrialised housing scheme ever undertaken by a London Borough, providing homes for more than 7000 people, comprising of low and high-rise linear blocks from four to fourteen-storeys high containing flats and maisonettes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in urban living on the Aylesbury Estate in Walworth, Southwark, Greater London. In front of a recently completed block of flats built using the innovative Jespersen system, a young girl sits peacefully on a bench. The image transports us back to the 1970s, showcasing an era of architectural development and urban transformation. The Aylesbury Estate was a groundbreaking project undertaken by John Laing and Son Ltd's Southern Region in 1967. It remains one of the largest industrialized housing schemes ever carried out by a London Borough. With its low and high-rise linear blocks ranging from four to fourteen-storeys high, this estate provided homes for over 7000 people. The Jespersen system revolutionized construction with its prefabricated parts and precast concrete panels. This method allowed for rationalization in building housing, resulting in significant time and cost savings. The Danish-inspired system became synonymous with efficiency and progress. In this photograph, we witness not only the architectural achievements but also the human aspect of urban life. The young girl sitting on the bench represents childhood innocence amidst this evolving landscape. Street furniture surrounds her as she becomes part of this vibrant community. This print is not just an image; it is a glimpse into history—a testament to how architecture shapes our lives while reflecting societal changes throughout time.
