Completed houses in Woodfarrs
At the time of its opening the Denmark Hill Estate was Camberwell Borough Council's biggest scheme, providing six hundred and eighty two homes.

After World War II Camberwell Borough Council
embarked on a vigorous programme of home building.
Some sites were generated by enemy bombing,
but others were mainly through demolition
of sub-standard housing.
The Denmark Hill Estate was unusual in being
built on the site, not of slums, but of some
of the biggest residential houses built in
the area: Henry Bessemer's Bessemer Grange
and neighbouring properties, The Grange and
Ruskin Manor.
