Originally there were 12 blocks, with 22 flats in each one. In the 1960s two blocks in the centre of the estate were demolished as part of a modernisation programme, which created a space for the construction of a children’s play area. In the 1990s a block near the estate boundary was pulled down, and some adjoining land was purchased. This enabled the building of new blocks with a frontage to Great Guildford Street, which include some shop units.

The George and Vulture was built in 1746 as a public house in Castle Court, near Lombard Street. There has been an inn on the site for centuries. It was said to be a meeting place of the notorious Hellfire Club and is now a City chop house. It is mentioned at least 20 times in The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens, who frequently drank there himself. Credit: Wiki Commons/Jim Linwood TUM image id: 1726415637 Licence: CC BY 2.0	The northern edge of Tudor London (1520) Moorgate was an old gate in London’s city wall, situated to the west of where the River Walbrook - a long lost river of London - crossed into the city. The Walbrook ran between the two main hills of the city: Ludgate Hill to the west and Cornhill to the east. It rose in the Shoreditch area and flowed into the Thames. By Tudor times, the Walbrook had been culverted within the city but still ran in open country outside the wall. After the river crossed London Wall and flowed into the City, it was bricked over since it had long since turned into a sewer there. Outside the London Wall, the open Walbrook would regularly flood the low-lying area to the north making building difficult. William Fitzstephen described the "great fen which washed against the northern wall of the City". So whereas London slowly spread to the west and the east, the marshy conditions of Moorfields hindered urbanisation to the north. The marsh covered much of the Manor of Finsbury - the name of the district immediately to the north of the city of London whose placename "Finsbury" derives from the word "fen". London’s Wall seems to have acted as a dam, restricting the flow of the river and adding to the area of marshland. As the Walbrook north of the wall was culverted in time, this slowly opened up the hitherto marshy land for building. None of Moorfields remains now - lending its name to the eye hospital and little else. Credit: Historic Towns Trust/Col.
