A 1960s photograph of ‘Parkleys’ flats around Marlowe Court at Ham, Surrey, England, UK. The development (1955–6) was the first major ‘Span’ development by architect Eric Lyons (1902–1980). He worked under Walter Gropius (founder of the Bauhaus) and was notable for schemes with attention to landscape and community development. Lyons combined modernism with more traditional elements, like hanging tiles (as here) and brick – a vintage 1960s photograph.

It will look soft and grainy if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
