John Laing and Son Ltd started building the Aylesbury Estate in 1967. Providing homes for over 7,000 people, it was, at the time, the largest industrialised housing scheme ever undertaken by a London Borough. Comprising low-rise and high-rise blocks of flats and maisonettes from four to fourteen-storeys high, it used the Danish Jespersen (or Jesperon) system, which Laing had bought the rights for in 1963.
