Lived here from 1976 to 2009. Now in Birmingham. Brings back great memories but heartbroken that I could not afford to live there today…

In the late 1940’s, as a paper boy, I worked for Stan Baldwin who had a newsagents at the beginning of Hackney Road. We delivered daily newspapers to the Boundary Estate and other areas.

I visited this location last Spring and these pictures certainly capture the loveliness of these buildings. Any chance we can see what the insides look like? I realize these are people’s homes, and I don’t mean to intrude, but seeing the inside would add to the appreciation of the buildings. Thanks.

I grew up on the Boundary estate in the 50s/60s and the pictures bring back such fabulous memories.

Boundary estate was built at a time before building was purely driven by profit and architecture dictated by cost, as with many of our great surviving civic buildings (eg Shoreditch Town Hall) – the difference between then and now!

Another splendid photographic delight —the sunlight is used beautifully and the almost deserted streets are superb…early Sunday morning by any chance ? Your blog has become the travel guide for my next trip to the UK and has filled my iPad notebook with tips and places to visit —–Spitalsfield , here we come !

Nice photographs of the estate, that I find interesting and pretty! Such a difference to many estates around London. Been there only couple of times walking somewhere, surprised by the style. Been myself to explore and photograph the Barbican estate in the lovely sunshine, another amazing place to live in London, don’t you think? (you probably wrote about Barbican, I have to do a search through the history!).

Now that’s what a housing estate really should look like! Such a pleasure to see such beautiful century-old architecture in comparison with the horrendous concrete buildings that are being churned out nowadays.
