The Nightingale Estate is located in Lower Clapton, Hackney, East London, next to Hackney Downs. The estate originally consisted of six 22 story tower blocks, but was redeveloped between 2003-2006 and replaced with mostly low-rise. Only one of the towers "Seaton Point" still remains. HistoryThe original six {{convert|65|m|adj=on}}, 22 story Nightingale Estate blocks were approved and built in 1968 by the then Greater London Council.[1] These were:
In the late 1980s/early 1990s, the flats fell into disrepair. Rising problems of crime and anti-social behaviour on the estate led to some residents taking action.[2] As part of a then UK Government regeneration scheme, Hackney Council drew up plans to redevelop the estate which led to five of the blocks (with the exception of Seaton Point), being demolished. Farnell Point was the first to be felled by controlled explosion in July 1998. Embley Point and Southerland Point were demolished next in December 2000. The last of flats to be done away with were Rathbone Point and Rachel Point in November 2003.[2] Between 2003-2006, a redevelopment saw low-rise housing built to replace the demolished towers.[2][3] In 2017, Hackney Council announced a £200 million plan to construct 400 homes on the site, in addition to 300 built earlier.[6][4] In popular cultureEmbley Point was home to London pirate radio stations in the early 1990s including Kool FM. One such station Rush FM, was subject to a high-profile raid in July 1993 resulting in media coverage about alleged drug and rave party links to stations operating from the estate.[5] Seaton Point is the setting for the 1998 novel of the same name, edited by Robert Dellar and contributed to by him amongst other authors.[6] The BBC television show Top Gear used the estate demolition as part of a stunt for the 'indestructible' Toyota Hilux, which was hoisted onto the roof of Rachel Point. The car still worked after the demolition and was placed on the wall of the Top Gear studios.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.towerblock.eca.ed.ac.uk/development/downs-road-1st-phase| title=Downs Road, 1st Phase - Tower Block UK Project|work=University of Edinburgh|date=18 December 2016}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=https://www.hackneycitizen.co.uk/2017/01/11/nightingale-estate-hackney-alice-burke/|title=How Alice Burke cleaned up the Nightingale Estate|first=Russell|last=Parton|newspaper=Hackney Citizen|date=2017-01-11}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://nightingaleestate.wordpress.com/2014/11/04/demolition-of-the-downs-nightingale-estate-nightingale-estate-tower-block-demolition/|title=Demolition of the Downs – Nightingale Estate|date=4 November 2014|work=Nightingaleestate.wordpress.com}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hackneygazette.co.uk/news/400_homes_plan_for_nightingale_estate_gets_green_light_1_4847960|title=400-homes plan for Nightingale Estate gets green light|date=13 January 2017|work=Hackney Gazette}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://hackneyhistory.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/rush-fm-raided-1993/ |title=Rush FM raided, 1993 - The Radical History of Hackney|website=Hackney History|date=21 January 2013}} 6. ^{{Cite book |last=ed.
