The block was once in a cluster of 3, and was originally called Mildane Block 2, but has stood alone since 14th July 2002 when its 2 sister blocks, along with Drake House were demolished. The block featured on the Tower block of Commons Channel 4 TV series, when Austin Mitchell MP temporarily stayed at the block. However, following a review of the Orchard Park Estates' Housing Stock the Council decided to demolish Mildane, and by late September 2012 the tower block had been cleared of residents with demolition scheduled for later in the year.
