The former site of the ill-fated Hutchesontown E high rise estate.
Sir Basil Spence's Area C is the one which history wants us to remember the most, but "E" was equally as bad - if not worse. The buildings became infested with damp within a few years of their completion and by the 1980s were declared unfit for habitation. They were demolished in 1987.
The towers were refurbished in the 1980s, but were eventually condemned and were demolished in July 2013.
