Maydew House, Abbeyfield Estate, Southwark, London, Bermondsey 1965/67.The Abbeyfield Estate, in Abbeyfield Rd, built between ’65 and ’67, reached 26 storeys.
The future of Maydew House was the subject of a big campaign back in 2010 when the council – faced with a big bill for asbestos removal – considered selling the whole building for private development. The council began the process of relocating residents from Maydew House in 2015.
