The Bradburne Way blocks became part of the Rupert Street Estate. The 16 storey tower blocks are all named after major rivers in the United Kingdom. Nechells Green / Duddeston had 27 high rise blocks of flats up until the late 1990s along with numerous four storey blocks. Together with other housing estates in Aston such as Newtown, there were a total of 67 tower blocks in Aston up to the 1990s.
