Constructed in the 1930s, it is built out of concrete and brick and is relatively low-rise at 4 storeys tall. To the north, the estate is bounded by Bermondsey Wall East, to the west by West Lane (on the opposite side of which is the West Lane Estate), and to the south by Paradise Street. Prior to construction, the site was home to back to back houses. There a total of 6 blocks on the estate containing a total of 76 flats.

Picture states Paradise Street, not quite right Lower Road left with Albion Street right. Paradise Street at one time emerged opposite between the pub (Princess Victoria) and the bank on the left, most of this as now dissapeared.

Mill Pond Bridge, Near West Lane & Paradise Street. If you look at Fosneys map on page 1, Mill Pond Bridge was roughly where the red arrow is.
