i remain astonished that people who don't live there know about the place. geographically it's so easy to miss and you find it hard to imagine how the space could exist in the surrounding area.
it was - and i believe remains - the most expensive council estate ever to be built (per capita). every other weekend you get architecture students touring the place.
each property's downstairs is the roof of the property below (apart from those at the top of the hill). when you are in the corridors it feels claustrophobic but once you get onto the roof gardens the view is incredible. behind you is the victorian mansion then at every other angle all you can see is the sky and trees pushing into it.
unfortunately i had to sell the place when the old man died!
Well somebody got it pretty quickly in the end! Such is the power of bike tag. No I don't live there, I found out about it because the father of somebody I know has just moved there. I'm jealous, it's an amazing place.
I don't know much about the place, but it's a beautiful and really well thought out housing estate, away from traffic and surrounded by trees, it is the most amazing place. Immediately above it is a fantastic old mansion that is used as a council care home. The estate and care home together remind us of a time when local government took real pride in how they looked after vulnerable people.
only a tiny bit bitter you manages to find it!
Old: Branch Hill, some nice buildings and stairs that I'm sure someone can tell us more about.
I have to admit the no streetview thing did give me trouble, I don't really know how to find things in the real world and wandered around for quite a while. Also have to apologise if anyone living there found their Sunday morning disturbed and looked outside to see a guy on a pink road bike bunny hopping speed bumps. #csb
