Made in 1970, and featuring architecture critic Ian Nairn, this film shows post war Pimlico, and the pioneering developments of the Churchill Estate, which replaced bomb damaged Victorian terraces and slums, and was completed in 1962, and the Lillington Estate, which was still to be completed at the time of this film.
Some interesting film of Pimlico at this time, much of which has since been replaced by yet more new building.
It is interesting to note, for instance that Tachbrook Street market is shown, and the East side of it is still as it was before the Lillington Estate was completed.
The old Woolworth's in Wilton Road is still evident, as are many of the now demolished building in that street.
