Notes / History | Shown are two of the high rise maisonette blocks under construction on the Pollards Hill Estate in the 1950's. Maisonnette blocks were built up to six stories high and, by the standards of the day, the much needed housing was built in record time. By the mid 1950's Mitcham Council could boast a house-building programme which exceeded that of any other Surrey Council. |
