The Abbey Road Housing Co-op development was built for Hampstead Borough Council after 1965.

This development originally had three components - two twenty-storey residential towers (Snowman and Casterbridge), two eight-storey blocks of flats (called Emminster and Hinstock) and an indoor car park. Bridges crossed Belsize Road and Abbey Road connecting together each of the elements. The estate crossed over the NW6 and NW8 boundary.

Phase 3 of the 2013 Abbey Area regeneration scheme involved plans for the demolition of the Emminster and Hinstock council housing blocks, the Abbey Community Centre, Belsize Priory Health Centre, shops and the Lillie Langtry pub.

A new 6-7 storey housing block would be built around Belsize Road and Abbey Road, with shops opening out onto a ‘central urban realm space’. 15 mews style houses were planned to run alongside the back of Priory Terrace.

The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.

The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.

The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades.
