Between the wars, the Poplar Borough Council and the London County Council built a total of about 1,500 new homes in the area. The prevailing style of building for much of that period was called &#8220;economic neo-Georgian&#8221; with (originally wooden framed) sash windows, higher than they were wide, as seen here in the Will Crooks Estate built between 1936 and 1939.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Will-Crooks-Estate.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4745 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Will-Crooks-Estate-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Will Crooks Estate\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Will-Crooks-Estate.jpg 300w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Will-Crooks-Estate.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Will-Crooks-Estate.jpg 1612w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Will-Crooks-Estate.jpg 2418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">However, the Poplar Borough Council, at around the same time, was adopting a more fashionable &#8220;moderne&#8221; style which would not look out of place in an episode of Poirot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Holmsdale-House.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4746 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Holmsdale-House-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Holmsdale House\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Holmsdale-House.jpg 300w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Holmsdale-House.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Holmsdale-House.jpg 1612w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Holmsdale-House.jpg 2418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Well before the Second World War was over, plans were drawn up for redevelopment once peace arrived, set out in the 1943 County of London Plan, which earmarked an area of 1,500 acres as the &#8220;Stepney\/Poplar Redevelopment Area&#8221;, divided into numbered new &#8220;neighbourhoods&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Neighbourhood 9, of 124 acres, became the Lansbury Estate: celebrated in architectural and planning circles because the buildings of its first phase &#8212; housing, schools, a market place, all low rise, intimate, human in scale &#8212; were used as the Live Architecture Exhibition in the Festival of Britain in 1951. \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Lansbury-Market-Place.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4747 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Lansbury-Market-Place-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Lansbury Market Place\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Lansbury-Market-Place.jpg 300w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Lansbury-Market-Place.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Lansbury-Market-Place.jpg 1612w, https:\/\/footprintsoflondon.com\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Lansbury-Market-Place.jpg 2418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Even later phases of Lansbury only followed the high rise trend to a modest extent.
