History of Architecture and Design - Season 1 Episode 14 English flats of the thirties
In television broadcast 14, Tim Benton looks at two very different developments to illustrate the differences and the common denominators in the design of flats in the 1930s. The huge municipal Quarry Hill estate in Leeds, designed by R.A.H. Livett, is compared with Highpoint I, an apartment block for upper-income tenants, in Highgate, London, designed by Berthold Lubetkin.
