The block achieved a high degree of notoriety for both social and design reasons. The kitchens of end flats cantilevered out of the ends of the block, and these were found to be sagging, which was leading to the possibilty that the wall could have fallen out. The north end was adjacent to the overground lines going into Upton Park tube. It was also claimed that as the building faced square onto the market, it created its' own 'wind trap' and that it could drive winds down the face of the building onto the market below.

abstract	The block achieved a high degree of notoriety for both social and design reasons. The kitchens of end flats cantilevered out of the ends of the block, and these were found to be sagging, which was leading to the possibilty that the wall could have fallen out.

It was also claimed that as the building faced square onto the market, it created its' own 'wind trap' and that it could drive winds down the face of the building onto the market below. There were vertical concrete fins running up the block. A simple fire in one flat, which under normal circumstances would have been extinguished by the fire brigade, travelled up between two of these fins and caused enormous damage on many floors. Due to structural issues James Sinclair Point was demolished in late 1993 by John F. Hunt Demolition Group. In 1997 the Tolpuddle Avenue was built which is a development of houses around Tolpuddle Avenue to the rear of Queens Market.
