Morris Walk Estate was constructed for the London City Council 1963-6 and was the first heavy concrete panel system built estate in England. Using the Danish Larsen-Neilson system, licensed to the English company Taylor-Woodrow Anglian, it was hoped that such industrialized construction techniques would solve the problems caused by shortage of labour and materials and an increasing demand for housing. Begun in 1963 the first flats were moved into in 1964 but the estate as a whole was not finished until 1967.
