I lived in one of the new blocks on this estate briefly (rented a room) , the price to buy one of the flats is draw dropping when you consider where it is. I also daily wondered where the hell they had put all of the people that used to live there when I walked through the empty derelict blocks that seem to be waiting an age to be demolished (although some of them still have a few poor souls having to live in them in horrendous conditions). It's a thought I am also having about my latest home on the Aylesbury Estate.
My landlady on Woodberry Down had a part ownership flat, they were not entitled to as many things as those who bought privately in the big tower and god knows what the social housing block were allowed next door and the private residents always tried to avoid the social housing residents like the plague, It is complete segregation. We'd ask the staff at the main desk about something and they'd say we don't work for your block and send us on our way.
