History
The Estate was built in the 1960s by Islington Council.[1] In 2006, it was transferred to the Hyde Group, a housing association.[1] The lead contractor for the redevelopment was Rydon, with a £130 million contract over eight years, replacing 538 structurally defective flats with 791 mixed-tenure houses and flats.[2]
In November 2016, a new park on the Regent's Canal was opened called Canalside Square.[3]
