Three-sided square of flats and houses. 1976-8 by Ralph Erskine's Arkitektkontor; site architect Vernon Gracie; structural engineer, White, Young and Partners; main contractor, Shepherd Construction. Red and buff metric modular brick on timber frame, with dark blue and red weatherboarding. Blue metal monopitch roofs supported on plywood box beam purlins. Nos. 1 and 2 are flats, as are Nos. 3 and 4. Two storeys. Nos. 1 and 2, and 3 and 4, separated by timber arch, and with dark blue bird box on end. No. 8 also has bird box. Nos. 9-15 with distinctive dark blue weatherboarding to front, with green metal door hoods and original red doors to Nos. 9 and 10. Some houses with prominent brick porches under sloping metal roofs. Timber windows with aluminium opening lights. Blue fences to rear of Nos. 9-15 a distinctive feature of the composition. Interiors not inspected. The use of stronger colours is a distinctive feature of the Bolam area, where Erskine sought to impart something of the character of the wall area to this unusually flat area at the southern part of the estate.
