An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The estate was planned as part of wider plans for the expansion of Birmingham to the east in the postwar period and was constructed over numerous phases. For the estate, hundreds of homes were planned, including 6 tower blocks which were built over 3 phases. The first phase of tower blocks began construction in 1959 with the building of four 9 storey blocks at Stonebridge Crescent, next to the remains of the historic Kingshurt Hall, from which the estate takes its name. The blocks were completed in 1960 by Morriss & Jaccombs. These 4 blocks were joined by another identical block in 1964, built by Bryant. In 1961, plans for a 12 storey tower block at Over Green Drive were approved and it was built the following year by Wimpey.
