The total are covered by the estate is less than one square mile. It was built as a council estate . Much of the housing in the estate has now been privately purchased and the only council areas left are the five 16 floor tower blocks, which were built in the 1950s. These tower blocks are mostly home to elderly and retired people. The flats have been expanded and modernised recently.
